Question

11. In gel electrophoresis the band on the gel that is farthermost from the well in response to an applied electrical current, represents the (A) Longest fragment of DNA (B) Restriction DNA used to cut the DNA into fragments (C) Shortest fragment of DNA (D) Ligase used to bind the DNA fragments​

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Shortest fragment of DNA.

Explanation:

The distance traveled by a DNA fragment is inversely proportional to the size of that DNA fragment, thus the fragment having traveled the farthest from the well (site where fragments are initially placed) is the shortest amongst all of them.

Answer 2

Answer:

Shortest fragment of DNA
