- Gel electrophoresis drives DNA along an electrical current from a negative electrode to a positive electrode. This is because DNA is a negatively charged molecule. Do you think that gel electrophoresis would function differently if DNA was positively charged? How so? Why?arrow_forwardWhen gel electrophoresis is done correctly, which of these DNA molecules would move the least through the gel?

- If you had a mixture of single-stranded DNA fragments, all 4 deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates, and DNA polymerase III. Would the single-stranded DNA fragments be able to be replicated? No, DNA polymerase I is needed No, ribonucleoside triphosphates are needed Yes, DNA polymerase III would be able to copy the DNA fragments from the 3' to 5' end by attaching the complementary deoxyribonucleosides No, DNA polymerase III would not be able to bind to the DNA fragment to start replicationarrow_forwardPicture is only attached as reference. However there are some words in the questions that may be understood by looking at the picture.
