What is used to separate DNA fragments by size?
Electrophoresis. Restriction enzymes are used to cut DNA into fragments. Solutions containing these fragments are placed on the surface of a gel to which an electric current is applied. The electric current causes the DNA fragments to move through the gel. Because smaller fragments move more quickly than larger ones, this process separates the fragments according to size.
What is the function of the gel electrophoresis?
Gel electrophoresis is an analytical method used to separate DNA, RNA or proteins based on size
What are the scientific uses for polyacrylamide?
it is used in gel electrophoresis.....for the separation of DNA fragments
Electrophoresis is used to sort DNA by?
Electric charge
When is DNA cut during electrophoresis?
Electrophoresis technique is not designed to cut DNA molecule. When DNA is analyzed by electrophoresis to determine its molecular mass, the molecular biology engineer usualy digests the DNA molecule, before the electrophoresis, with specific enzymes called "restriction enzymes" in order to obtain fragments of diverse molecular weights that can be seen as bands in electrophoresis gels.
What are the common stains that is used after DNA electrophoresis?
Ethidium bromide and coomassie blue are some stains that can be used in DNA electrophoresis.
What is used to sort DNA into different lenghts?
Gel Electrophoresis
Why is ethidium bromide added to the agarose gel for electrophoresis?
if the DNA is presnt in the gel, the ethi.bro will bind with it & it will emitt fluoresence.some other fluorescent dyes also available, but they r not showing good results,so ethi.bro is used for DNA
A technique that can be used to compare the DNA of two or more plants is?
Gel electrophoresis
What is used to sort DNA into lengths?
Gel Electrophoresis

DNA fragments can be separated and analyzed by?
Pulse field gel electrophoresis is used to separate DNA fragments by their size.
Are restriction enzymes used in gel electrophoresis?
For DNA gel electrophoresis, yes. Once the DNA is cut up into different-sized fragments, they can be electrophoresed to separate bands.
What is the function of the gel electrophoresis?
Gel electrophoresis is an analytical method used to separate DNA, RNA or proteins based on size
Why you do electrophoresis?
electrophoresis is the process of putting dyed DNA that has been cut by enzymes into a gel substance in order to seperate the DNA for genetic ID. It can be used for paternity testing comparing DNA of the child to the father.
Is electrophoresis part of biotechnology?
Electrophoresis is used to separate molecules based on size and charge. Since biotechnology depends on knowing what you are working with, electrophoresis of proteins, DNA and RNA is a tool used by biotechnologists.
Difference between vertical and horizontal gel electrophoresis?
Horizantal gel electrophoresis is generally used for RNA/DNA based studies, while vertical gel electrophoresis is used for protein based studies.
