Gel electrophoresis is a technique:
Correct answer: C. Is a technique to separate different-sized fragments of charge-bearing polymers (proteins, RNA or DNA)
- A. Employed by forensic scientists to assist in the identification of individuals by their respective type of DNA
- B. Collect all the genes found in one complete set of chromosome
- C. Is a technique to separate different-sized fragments of charge-bearing polymers (proteins, RNA or DNA)
- D. Grows a single cell or a group of cells in glassware on an artificial medium under aseptic conditions
Explanation
Gel electrophoresis is a laboratory method used to separate mixtures of DNA, RNA, or proteins according to molecular size. In gel electrophoresis, the molecules to be separated are pushed by an electrical field through a gel that contains small pores.
