Which of the following factors will not affect the rate of migration of DNA in agarose gels
electrophoresis *
(0/1 Point)
Voltage
Gel concentration
DNA conformation
DNA concentration V​

Answer 1

Answer:

A number of factors can affect the migration of nucleic acids: the dimension of the gel pores (gel concentration), size of DNA being electrophoresed, the ...

Answer 2

The Gel concentration will not affect the rate of migration of DNA in agarose gels. So, option (b) will be correct.

• The concentration of gel affects the resolution of DNA separation. The higher gel concentration improves the separation of smaller DNA molecules.
• DNA conformation, voltage, and DNA concentration will affect the rate of migration of DNA in agarose gel.
• There are various factors that will affect the rate of migration of nucleic acid for gel electrophoresis.
