How does the process of gel electrophoresis separate DNA fragments? 3. Why is the fact that DNA has a negative charge so important in the gel electrophoresis process? Biotechnology 165time and read each question carefully. This is an independent test Question 1 1. If 30% of DNA is Adenine, what percent is Thymine? O 30% O 20% O 40%Indicate true or false for the following statements The glycerol used in the DNA loading dye allows DNA to be visualized under UV light. The DNA Ladder used for agarose gel electrophores can be used to estimate fragment size and DNA concentration.

- DNA Extraction by Alkaline Lysis Procedure: 1. Spin 1.5 ml of cells in a microcentrifuge at maximum speed (12,000 rpm) for 20s to pellet. Remove the supernatant completely with a Pasteur pipet or a plastic pipettor tip. The spins can be performed at 4C or at room temperature. Longer spins make it difficult to resuspend cells. 2. Resuspend pellet in 100µl GTE solution and let sit 5 min at room temperature. Be sure cells are completely resuspended. 3. Add 200µl NaOH/SDS solution, mix by tapping tube with finger, and place on ice for 5 min. 4. Add 150µl potassium acetate solution and vortex at maximum speed for 2s to mix. Place on ice for 5-15 min. Be sure mixing is complete. 5. Spin 3 min at 12,000 rpm to pellet cell debris and chromosomal DNA. 6. Transfer 0.4 ml supernatant to a fresh tube, mix it with 0.8 ml of 95% ethanol or 0.4 ml isopropanol, and let sit 2 min at room temperature precipitate nucleic acids. 7.
