once the dna has been collected from both a crime scene and suspect and amplified, what are the samples treated with to make fragments of various sizes that can be loaded onto an agarose gel?

Respuesta :

It is gel electrophoresis

This is a technique used to separate DNA fragments according to their size.

The separation medium here is made up of agarose gel

Agarose gel is isolated from the seaweed Gelidium and Gracilaria (Rhodohyta)

DNA is separated using gel electrophoresis where the DNA sample is loaded in the wells located at the top and then current is applied.

Result is DNA molecules are separated basis of size.

Migration of DNA is affected by several factors,

1. Migration of DNA depends on agarose concentration, it is inversely proportional to the agarose gel concentration.

2. Size of DNA, the Smaller molecules migrate through the gel more quickly and therefore travel further than larger fragments that migrate more slowly.

3. Depends upon the voltage
