Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Analyzing DNA by gel electrophoresis allows researchers to do which of the following?
A
identify similarities and differences in the genomes of different kinds of organisms.
B
determine whether a particular allele of a gene is dominant or recessive.
C
compare the phenotypes of different organisms.
D
cut DNA with restriction enzymes.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Gel electrophoresis is used to separate macromolecules like DNA, RNA and proteins. DNA fragments are separated according to their size. Proteins can be separated according to their size and their charge (different proteins have different charges).

Detailed explanation-2: -What does analyzing DNA using gel electrophoresis allows researchers to identify and study? It allows researchers to study specific genes, to compare them with the genes of other organisms, and to discover the functions of different genes and gene combinations.
