Chapter 17.1, Problem 2LO
Summary Introduction
To explain: The way in which DNA fragments can be separated using gel electrophoresis and the reason why it is useful.
Introduction: The process in which macromolecules (such as DNA, protein, and RNA) and their fragments are separated and analyzed based on their charge and size is called gel electrophoresis. It is used in molecular biology, biochemistry, and clinical chemistry.
