Gel electrophoresis Questions and
Answers Graded A+

What kind of "track" does gel electrophoresis create for DNA?


✔✔It creates a microscopic race track where DNA fragments can compete based on size, with

smaller fragments sprinting ahead!




If DNA fragments were athletes, how would they compete in gel electrophoresis?


✔✔Smaller athletes (fragments) would zoom through the gel like sprinters, while larger ones

lumber along, taking their sweet time.




What’s the gel in gel electrophoresis, and why is it like a sponge?


✔✔The gel is like a sponge because it has tiny holes that let smaller molecules through more

easily while slowing down larger ones.




How does gel electrophoresis help unravel DNA mysteries?


✔✔It allows scientists to visualize and compare DNA patterns, revealing secrets about genetics

like a detective examining clues!

, What happens when you overload a gel with too much DNA?


✔✔It’s like cramming too many people into an elevator; everything gets crowded, leading to

messy, indistinct bands that blur together.




Why might a scientist use a special dye during gel electrophoresis?


✔✔Dyes help paint a picture of the DNA’s journey, making the invisible visible when they glow

under UV light like stars in the night sky!




What would a gel electrophoresis experiment feel like if DNA had emotions?


✔✔The DNA would feel excited to race, nervous about the outcome, and triumphant when it

sees its band light up under the UV glow!




How does the electric current in gel electrophoresis act like a referee?


✔✔The electric current directs the DNA fragments, ensuring they move toward the positive end

of the gel like players heading toward the goal!




If gel electrophoresis were a movie, what genre would it be?


✔✔It would be a thrilling science documentary, showcasing the dramatic race of DNA

fragments as they reveal the story of life!
