In gel electrophoresis, what fragments will move most quickly through a gel ?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Small fragments
Electrophoresis is a laboratory technique used to separate DNA, RNA, or protein molecules based on their size and electrical charge.
DNA is negatively charged, therefore, when an electric current is applied to the gel, DNA will migrate towards the positively charged electrode. Shorter strands of DNA move more quickly through the gel than longer strands resulting in the fragments being arranged in order of size.
So, the correct answer is "option B"
