1.	Question : The nucleic acid extracted from animal liver is loaded and run on agarose gel. After staining, it shows following pattern : If the remaining sample is treated with RNAse and loaded in gel what result would you expect ?
Answer» Solution :Both `RNA` and `DNA` are NEGATIVELY CHARGED molecules, they move towards the positive electrode (anode). However, `RNA` would move fastor because it is lighter than the `DNA`. Now, since the sample was treated with `RNAse`, only `DNA` BAND is EXPECTED after treatment.
