Best Answer

PCR products produce million copies of your gene of interest. After PCR, we usually resolve them on the agarose gel to visualize the amplified DNA using EtBr stain under UV. The main purpose is, it make sure your gene is really amplified and the length it run is corresponding to the right size of your gene of interest and purify it from other template DNA and other unspecifically amplified DNA products by extracting from the gel.

What does the accuracy of the fragment sizes tell you about the resolving ability of agarose-gel electrophoresis?

The larger fragements will not be very accurate because they cannot resolve in high consentrations of the agarose in the gel. The percent of agarose in the gel affects the ability to resolve larger fragements of DNA
