Question

Electrophoresis separates DNA fragments of different sizes, but this technique does not indicate which of the fragments contains the DNA piece of interest. This problem is solved by Select one:

a. identifying the molecular weights of the fragments in question.
b. measuring the sizes of the bands on the gel.
c. removing the bands from the gel and hybridizing with a known strand of DNA complementary to the gene of interest.
d. knowing the isoelectric points of the piece in question.
e. None of the other answers

Answer 1

Answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Electrophoresis describes the movement of particles in a gel, influenced by an electric charge.

It is use to separate DNA particles based on their charge and size. Some of its types are native or buffer gels, gradient gels among others.
