Q23: Dr. Alghe has just performed a restriction digest on DNA she extracted from her samples. She must now run her DNA out on a gel to separate the fragments based on size. To do this she must prepare a 1.1% agarose gel, where the percentage is determined as mass/vol. How many grams of agarose must she add to 413 mL of buffer in order to arrive at the correct percentage? (answer to 2 decimals) **Assume the dissolution of agarose will not alter the final volume of the solution**
