In the electrophoretogram, the DNA has moved from the negative cathode to the positive anode.
State the property of DNA which results in movement from cathode to anode.
State two uses of gel electrophoresis.
In some situations, gel electrophoresis cannot be carried out as the DNA samples are not collected in a large enough quantity.
Identify the process used to amplify the DNA in order to supply enough DNA for electrophoresis to be successful.
The stages of electrophoresis can be seen below.
Complete the table below by adding a number to the column to show the correct sequence of events in the process. The first one has been done for you.
A sample of DNA is collected from an individual | 1 |
Samples of DNA fragments are loaded into wells in the agarose gel using a micropipette | |
An enzyme is used to create fragments of the DNA in the sample | |
An electrical current is applied to the tank |
