Q: Which technique is used to separate DNA fragments by size?
Solution:
Gel electrophoresis is a method used to separate DNA fragments based on their size and charge.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Prepare a gel, usually made of agarose, which will act as a filter for the DNA fragments.
Step 2: Mix the DNA samples with a loading dye to make them visible and easier to handle.
Step 3: Load the DNA samples into wells (small holes) in the gel.
Step 4: Connect the gel to an electric current; DNA is negatively charged and will move towards the positive end.
Step 5: As the electric current runs, smaller DNA fragments will move faster and farther through the gel than larger ones.
Step 6: After a set amount of time, turn off the current and visualize the separated DNA fragments, usually by staining the gel.
