Answer 2

The following are the differences between loading dye and tracking dye:

Explanation:

• The loading dye is the dye which is used for making the DNA markers whereas the tracking dye is used to stain the DNA.
• The loading dye is used in the agrose and polyacrylamide gels whereas the tracking dye is used in the agrose gel.
• The loading dye can also be used for tracking the DNA migration during the process of electrophoresis whereas the tracking dye can be used for observing the DNA as well as it also reduces the mutagenicity.
• The bromophenol blue is used as loading dye whereas the SYBR is used as tracking dye.
