In the lab, the undergraduate student assigned to you is performing a PCR experiment of your gene of interest (i.e., COL). You see that the electrophoresis gels are not clean, and instead of a single band you see multiple bands. When you ask the student, the materials used were buffers, primers, polymerase, DNA template, salts, and dideoxynucleotides. What could be the explanation of the multiple bands in the gel?
