what is the charge on dna at ph 8? which functional group is responsible for the charge? 8) what factors affect the rate of migration through an agarose gel? 9) describe the purpose of the two different types of dyes used in agarose gel electrophoresis. 10) explain how different dna fragments are separated by agarose gel electrophoresis. use a sketch to show which fragments will appear closer to the bottom of the gel (farther from the wells), and which will appear closer to the top of the gel (closer to the wells).



Answer :

DNA's phosphate backbone has a negative charge as a result of links formed between the phosphorus and oxygen atoms. A phosphate group, which is part of the DNA structure, contains one negatively charged oxygen atom, which is what causes the DNA strand as a whole to be negatively charged.

What does a DNA's charge look like?

The negatively charged nature of DNA causes it to move toward the positively charged electrode when an electric current is supplied to the gel.

At pH 7, how is DNA charged?

DNA is net negatively charged at a pH of 7.0. This occurs as a result of a phosphodiester bond connecting the ribose present in the DNA molecule. The net charge of this phosphate group is negative.
