Once single tandem repeat (STR)loci have been amplified,what is used to separate alleles by size?
A)Electrophoresis
B)Fluorescent emissions
C)Lasers
D)Reagents

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Electrophoresis is the standard method used to separate amplified alleles by size. The PCR-amplified fragments are separated by size using gel electrophoresis, which involves applying an electric charge to the sample and allowing it to move through a gel matrix. The smaller fragments migrate more quickly through the gel, while the larger fragments move more slowly, allowing for separation of the alleles by size. Options B, C, and D are not commonly used methods for separation of STR alleles.
