Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gel electrophoresis separates DNA fragments based on their size as they move through a gel matrix under the influence of an electric field. The smaller fragments move more quickly through the gel while larger fragments move more slowly. Therefore, gel electrophoresis can be used to distinguish between the sizes of different DNA fragments.
