What affects pore size of agarose gel in restriction digestion analysis?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: By agarose concentration

Agarose gel acts as a molecular sieve, and its pore size is mainly controlled by the concentration of agarose used during casting. A higher agarose percentage generally forms a tighter network with smaller pores, while a lower percentage produces larger pores. This changes how DNA fragments move during electrophoresis: smaller pores improve separation of relatively small fragments, whereas larger pores allow large DNA molecules to migrate more effectively. The restriction enzyme determines where DNA is cut, but its name does not set the physical pore size. DNA methylation may affect cutting by some enzymes, but it is not the principal factor controlling gel pores, and the tube cap has no such role.
