You have two tubes, each with a pair of DNA fragments inside them. Tube #1 has fragments that are 500bp and 1000 bp in length. Tube #2 has fragments that are 7500bp and 8000bp in size. If you were to perform agarose gel electrophoresis and run the contents of each tube in two separate lanes on the same gel, what would you expect to see?

Question
You have two tubes, each with a pair of DNA fragments inside them. Tube #1 has fragments that are 500bp and 1000
bp in length. Tube #2 has fragments that are 7500bp and 8000bp in size. If you were to perform agarose gel
electrophoresis and run the contents of each tube in two separate lanes on the same gel, what would you expect to
see?
O That the difference between the distances migrated by the two fragments in Tube #1 was much greater than the difference
between the distances migrated by the two fragments in Tube #2.
O That the difference between the distances migrated by the two fragments in Tube #1 was the same as difference between the
distances migrated by the two fragments in Tube #2.
O That the difference between the distances migrated by the two fragments in Tube #1 was much less than the difference between
the distances migrated by the two fragments in Tube #2.
O It is not possible to estimate what we would expect to see.
