Which principle(s) allow gel electrophoresis to analyze DNA? *
1 point
DNA is generally positively charged due to its nitrogenous bases, so an electrical field forces it to move toward the negative pole.
Gravity.
The strong positive charges from the phosphate groups in the DNA backbone cause it to migrate toward the negative pole.
Diffusion.
The strong negative charges from the phosphate groups in the DNA backbone cause it to migrate toward the positive pole.
