Answer:

EtBr inserts between the stacked bases in the DNA double helix.

Explanation:

  • EtBr is used for visualizing DNA bands as it fluoresces under the UV illumination.
  • EtBr is an aromatic compound that is capable of inserting itself between the stacked bases of the DNA double helix.
  • The hydrophobic environment around the base pairs where the EtBr intercalates is responsible for the fluorescence. As the EtBr molecule intercalates between these base pairs the cation of EtBr sheds the water molecules associated with it and this causes it to fluoresce under UV light as water is a quencher of fluorescence.

Benefits of Microscopes
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The light microscope is able to produce images in their natural color because photons of visible light are utilized as a light source and color is a function of light. Both transmission and scanning electron microscopes are not able to produce images in their natural colors because they utilize beams of electrons to image specimens. <em>They produce grayscale images instead because the regions of the specimen where electrons pass through are usually white while other regions remain black.</em>
