a technique used to separate mixtures like DNA and proteins. The separation is based on how positively or how negatively charged a molecule is and its size

Agarose Gel Electrophoresis

Agarose gel electrophoresis is a method of gel electrophoresis used in biochemistry, molecular biology, and clinical chemistry to separate a mixed population of DNA or proteins in a matrix of agarose.

a dark-green, crystalline compound, C 1 6 H 1 8 ClN 3 S, that dissolves in water to form a deep-blue solution: used chiefly as a dye, as a bacteriological and biological stain, and as an antidote for cyanide poisoning.

a full set of chromosomes; all the inheritable traits of an organism.

the chromosomes of a cell, usually displayed as a systematized arrangement of chromosome pairs in descending order of size.

a chromosome, differing in shape or function from other chromosomes, that determines the sex of an individual.

any chromosome other than a sex chromosome.

an ancestral line; line of descent; lineage; ancestry.

(of a gene) located in a sex chromosome. (of a character) determined by a gene located in a sex chromosome.

one of several ways that a trait or disorder can be passed down through families. If a disease is autosomal dominant, it means you only need to get the abnormal gene from one parent in order for you to inherit the disease.

one of several ways that a trait, disorder, or disease can be passed down through families. An autosomal recessive disorder means two copies of an abnormal gene must be present in order for the disease or trait to develop.

change in form, appearance, nature, or character.

a segment of DNA independent of the chromosomes and capable of replication, occurring in bacteria and yeast: used in recombinant DNA procedures to transfer genetic material from one cell to another.

a substance thought to be the essential nitrogenous component of all organic bodies.

of or pertaining to two different alleles that are fully expressed in a heterozygous individual.

a series of three or more alternative or allelic forms of a gene, only two of which can exist in any normal, diploid individual.

the appearance in a heterozygote of a trait that is intermediate between either of the trait's homozygous phenotypes.

one of a group of nonallelic genes that together control a quantitative characteristic in an organism.
