Agarose gel electrophoresis is commonly used for the separation of:
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: RNA and DNA fragments
Agarose gels are widely used to separate nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA based on size. The porous gel matrix allows fragments to migrate at different rates through an electric field, enabling efficient size-based separation of nucleic acid mixtures.
