Once you have conducted a PCR (in general), what does it mean if you had 1 band generated (from the gel electrophoresis)? If you had 2 bands generated (from the gel electrophoresis)?

Step 1
After conducting PCR, the next step is to analyze the amplified DNA fragments using gel electrophoresis. In gel electrophoresis, the amplified DNA fragments are separated based on their size and charge. Show more…

When you have completed your PCR, you will be visualizing the fragments on an agarose gel. You should obtain many copies of a single fragment of approximately 1000 base pairs. Instead, you find three fragments: one of 1,000, one of 850, and one of approximately 600 base pairs. What could you do next time to decrease the number of bands that you obtain?
