Is agarose gel electrophoresis suitable for only gram negative plasmid DNA?
Agarose gel electrophoresis is suitable for ALL DNA.
Preparation of 1 percent agarose gel or How to prepare 1 percent agarose gel?
Check the answer for How do you make an electrophoresis gel?
what is the gel in Gel Electrophoresis?
For larger molecules like proteins we use polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). For smaller pieces like DNA we use agarose gel electrophoresis
What is role of agarose of electrophoresis?
agarose helps in the separation of DNA bands by controlling the pore size of agarose gel
Are electrophoresis gels hazardous?
No, the agarose gel is just a polysaccharide.
Why agarose gel electrophoresis is not used for protein analysis?
eating

What is the principle for agarose gel electrophoresis?
it is a technique that separated dna according to its size.
What is the functions of UV transilluminator in genetic laboratory?
to vizualise DNA after Agarose gel electrophoresis
Function of agarose in agarose gel electrophoresis?
Agarose is used in gel electrophoresis to separate nucleic acids (like DNA) by size, charge an other physical properties. Gel electrophoresis uses an electrical current to make particles move. For example, DNA is negative, so it'll travel towards to positive electrode of the gel box. Agarose has small pores through which a DNA can travel. Bigger fragments of DNA travel shorter distances, because it takes longer for them to navigate through the pores of the agarose gel. Identically sized pieces of DNA will travel the same distance, which is why you get bands (DNA with loading dye) after you run a a gel.
What is an agarose gel and what is it used for?
Agarose gel electrophoresis is the easiest and most common method used in biochemistry and molecular biology in separating DNA or RNA molecules according to their size.
