Question

Electrophoresis is a genetic engineering technique that can be used to separate segments of

A) DNA.
B) interferons.
C) lipids.
D) polysaccharides.

Answer 1

A) DNA............ Hope it helps, Have a nice day :)

Answer 2

The correct answer would be A) DNA.

Electrophoresis or gel electrophoresis is a technique used to separate the charged particles such as DNA, RNA, and proteins on the basis of their size.

Under this technique, the charged particles are allowed to move under a uniform electric field.

The gel or gel pores act as a sieve through which the charged particles move and thus, the smallest fragment reaches the farthest end and in the smallest interval of time.

For example, DNA is a negatively charged particle which moves from cathode to anode and DNA fragments are separated according to their size.
