centrifuged. What density distribution of DNA would you expect in this
experiment?
A) one high-density and one low-density band
B) one intermediate-density band
C) one high-density and one intermediate-density band
D) one low-density and one intermediate-density band
E) one low-density band
Answer:
D) one low-density and one intermediate-density band
