agarose helps in the separation of DNA bands by controlling the pore size of agarose gel
Gel Electrophoresis
Let's put it this way, we know that electrophoresis is a test for the sizes of the fragments of DNA molecules while SDS-page is a test of the size of protein molecules. If you use electrophoresis to test the differences of protein, there will not be any bands as all the protein will travel to the end of SDS-page. Therefore, we can conclude that the pores of electrophoresis is much more larger than SDS-page. Since electrophoresis has larger pores than SDS-page, it also shows that overall DNA is larger than protein in size.
Gel electrophoresis
For larger molecules like proteins we use polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). For smaller pieces like DNA we use agarose gel electrophoresis
Gel electrophoresis
Ethidium bromide interchalates with DNA. It doesn't affect electrophoresis, but it help visualise the DNA bands after electrophoresis. The EtBr that is bound to the DNA will fluoresce under ultraviolet light.
For DNA gel electrophoresis, yes. Once the DNA is cut up into different-sized fragments, they can be electrophoresed to separate bands.
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.
Make sure the voltage does not run over 200.

false
DNA fingerprint
Only the bands should show fluorescence, you must be doing the technique wrong..
DNA samples taken from Dolly and the sheep that donated the body cell showed the same patterns of bands on an electrophoresis gel. Dolly became the first cloned mammal which then led to the cloning of pigs, dogs, and mice.
They would be the same since Dolly is clone.
Electrophoresis is the method that could be used to further separate two bands from the same protein fraction after SDS-PAGE.
