Question

(a) Mention the importance of gel-electrophoresis in biotechnology.
(b) Explain the process of this technique.

Answer 1

Answer:

The gel electrophoresis technique is very important in the field of biotechnology. It helps in cutting of desired DNA segment and the separation of the DNA fragments for biotechnology experiments. DNA being negatively charged moves towards anode, under electric field through a matrix or an agarose medium.

Gel electrophoresis is a technique used to separate DNA fragments (or other macromolecules, such as RNA and proteins) based on their size and charge. ... Based on their size and charge, the molecules will travel through the gel in different directions or at different speeds, allowing them to be separated from one another.
