Question

in agarose gel electrophoresis, low signal intensity was observed in the mixture of different molecular weight molecules. why is this so

Answer 1

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.
