Question

What is the application of gel electrophoresis?

Answer 1

Gel electrophoresis:

1. The process of gel electrophoresis is used to separate DNA fragments by size or length. In biotechnology, genetics, microbiology, forensics laboratories, and other fields, gel electrophoresis is commonly employed.
2. There are several types of gel electrophoresis, each of which is classified according to the type of analysis being performed.

Application of electrophoresis :

1. Electrophoresis is the separation of charged species based on their mobility under the influence of an applied electric field.
2. It has a wide variety of uses in biological substance analysis (proteins and nucleic acids).
3. The principal use has been the separation of biological molecules, which comprises molecules with lower relative molecular weights, such as amino acids, and molecules with higher relative molecular masses, such as proteins and polynucleotides.
