Which of the following techniques is used to separate DNA fragments by size?
Correct Answer: Gel electrophoresis
- Step 1: Understand that DNA is made up of different sized fragments.
- Step 2: Know that we want to separate these fragments based on their size.
- Step 3: Learn about gel electrophoresis, a technique used for this purpose.
- Step 4: In gel electrophoresis, DNA fragments are placed in a gel and an electric current is applied.
- Step 5: The electric current causes the DNA fragments to move through the gel.
- Step 6: Smaller DNA fragments move faster and travel further than larger ones.
- Step 7: After the process, you can see the separated DNA fragments based on their size.
