DNA samples are within the gel matrix during electrophoresis. DNA moves at differtent rates through the pores of the gel depending on how long the fragments are.
DNA is held by the gel itself.

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.
If all the bands on an electrophoresis gel are the same color the single stranded DNA sample consisted of one kind of?
false
How are restriction enzymes used to look for differences between DNA samples?
Restriction enzymes cleave, or open, the DNA so that a sample can be taken and gel electrophoresis can separate the strands of DNA. From there, DNA probes bind to certain strands in each sample and DNA fingerprints can show the differences.
What is pulsed field gel electrophoresis?
This method is a mode of gel electrophoresis in which the applied field is switched between poles so the DNA sample is constantly re oriented within the frame work of the gel. This re alignment allows the sample to move smoothly through the gel
What is a technique for sorting DNA fragments by length?
it is called " electrophoresis"
How does gel electrophoresis is used to make a DNA fingerprint?
Gel electrophoresis separates DNA fragment on the basis of their size. In DNA fingerprinting or DNA typing given sample is cut up with restriction enzymes and run through electrophoresis and results are analyzed to check for DNA polymorphism between the given sample and a sample form suspect. In nutshell gel electrophoresis is boon for the people in forensics.

Which of the following best describes how scientists use gel electrophoresis?
Gel Electrophoresis is the technique for sorting DNA molecules based on their number of base pairs by running a current through the gel. The sample travels opposite of the direction of the electrical charge since DNA is negatively charged. Using a certain primer you can identify the BP of the sample.

What is the role of EtBr in 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.
In regards to analyzing DNA with gel electrophoresis Are DNA fragments separated by size?
Yes, electrophoresis involves seperation depending upon size by applying charge to the DNA sample loaded which then travels form negative to positive eletrode as DNA being negatively charged. Thus the small sized molecules will travel faster as compared to larger molecules.
What is used to sort DNA into different lenghts?
Gel Electrophoresis
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.

How are DNA fragments separated on DNA fingerprinting?
Gel electrophoresis
