After a cycle sequencing reaction is completed in a thermocycler and the DNA fragments are subjected to capillary gel electrophoresis, what property of the DNA sequenced fragments determine the order in which if passes through the laser detector?
A) Based on charge
B) Based on size of sequenced DNA fragments
C) Based on the chemical structure of the DNA fragments
D) Based on the % of guanines and cytosines in the DNA fragment
E) Based on the % of adenines and thymines in the DNA fragments
