Dead cells stained with AO/EB appear orange because

CHT
a. Ethidium bromide prevents AO binding
b. AO leaks out of the dead cell, leaving only ethidium bromide
c. Ethidium bromide fluoresces much more strongly than AO
d. AO binds only RNA, which washes away when the cell is dead

membranes, fluorescing green when bound to DNA. EB only entire cells with
damaged membranes, such as late apoptotic and dead cells, emitting orange-red
fluorescence when bound to concentrated DNA fragments or apoptotic bodies
