Gel Electrophoresis Exam
more resistance - ✔️✔️What longer strands encounter to make them move slower
through the gel so that they stay closer to the wells
targeting a gene with a mutation - ✔️✔️Gel electrophoresis can be used for
agarose or polyacrylamide - ✔️✔️What the gel tray is made of
negative - ✔️✔️the charge on DNA, and electrode at the end where the wells are
positive - ✔️✔️The electrode that the DNA migrates towards
Gel electrophoresis - ✔️✔️a technique used to separate segments of DNA based on
their size using an electric current
UV light - ✔️✔️What causes the bands to fluoresce
ethidium bromide - ✔️✔️the chemical used to make the bands fluoresce
wells - ✔️✔️the spaces that are loaded with DNA samples
similarities - ✔️✔️can indicate when a genetic marker is present or not
length of DNA at a marker - ✔️✔️The most common difference between individuals at
a genetic marker
bands on the gel - ✔️✔️DNA fragments of the same length produce
visualized - ✔️✔️Use of a dye or chemical to make the bands of DNA visible
buffer solution - ✔️✔️What allows a current to travel through the gel tray
