This experiment employed a 1% agarose gel, and very large DNA fragments remained at the top of the gel. If a 0.1% agarose gel was used, instead of the 1% agarose gel, would the large DNA fragments migrate further down the gel?
A) Yes
B) No
A) Yes
Feedback: Agarose acts as a size filter. The greater the concentration of agarose, the harder it is for large fragments to migrate. The lower the concentration of agarose, the further the large fragments can migrate.
