Which of the following is not a similarity between performing a gel electrophoresis analysis on protein versus DNA? Select one: a. Both methods utilize electrical currents to mobilize the macromolecules. b. If performed correctly, the samples always move towards the anode in both methods. c. Both methods utilize SDS to create a uniform charge to mass ratio. d. Agarose gels would work for both protein and DNA gel electrophoresis. e. The larger the macromolecules are, the slower they migrate through the gel matrix in both methods.
