The role of loading buffer is: (select all that apply)
to bind to and color the DNA so we can see it when we visualize the gel
to aid the movement of the DNA through the gel
to cause the DNA to sink into the gel well
to visually track the movement of the material in the wells through the gel
The first option is not appropriate because it states that the buffer binds to and colour the DNA which is not correct.The buffer does not bind and colour the DNA but the dye present in the buffer does that. So this statement is not perfectly appropriate.The other options are hence correct answers for the question and the reasons has been explained in the above pictures.
