During DNA electrophoresis, DNA molecules pass through __________, which separates the molecules according to size.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Agarose gel is used in DNA electrophoresis to separate DNA molecules based on their size. The smaller fragments move faster through the gel while the larger fragments move slower, resulting in separation and visualization of the DNA bands. Nitrocellulose is used for transferring DNA onto membranes in Southern blotting and silicon chips are used in advanced technologies like DNA sequencing and genotyping. Restriction fragments are pieces of DNA that are generated by restriction enzymes, which can then be separated by electrophoresis. Sequencers are used for determining the sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA molecules.
