Question

You used agarose gel electrophoresis to separate DNA fragments of different size and the experiment worked well. However, you wanted to re run the experiment but this time you made the gel with a higher percentage of Agarose. How might this affect your results compared to the first run?

a.

There would be no difference between the runs since it is the current, not the agarose that causes migration.

b.

The higher concentration of agarose would cause the DNA to break apart. 

c.

You can't predict how the concetration of agarose would affect migration. 

d.

The DNA fragments would migrate further down the gel than they did the first time. 

e.

The DNA fragments wouldn't migrate as far down the gel as they did the first time.
