The botanist advised the state agent to use the size of the protein “compositase” to find the identity of the plant in the pot. This process uses electric currents to draw DNA out from the wells formed in the gel because the DNA is negatively charged and it would try to move through the gel to get away from the negative side of the electric current. This allows the scientists to see it’s behavior as it moves through the gel as the smaller proteins move more quickly than the larger ones. Since DNA is colorless the scientists stain the sample in order to visualize the protein and then they can compare the sizes and patterns of the three flowers to the sizes and patterns from the plant in the
