Dr. Alghe has just performed a restriction digest on DNA she extracted from her samples. She must now run her DNA out on a gel to separate the fragments based on size. To do this she must prepare a 1.2% agarose gel, where the percentage is determined as mass/vol. How many grams of agarose must she add to 200 mL of buffer in order to arrive at the correct percentage?
