Question

How does the process of gel electrophoresis produce DNA fingerprints? An electric current sorts DNA nucleotides according to their bases. O An electric current cuts a DNA strand into segments of various lengths O An electric current causes segments of DNA to move at different rates O An electric current supplies a charge to uncharged segments of DNA ​

Answer 1

Gel electrophoresis

Step-by-step explanation:

Gel electrophoresis is a technique used to separate DNA fragments according to their size. DNA samples are loaded into wells (indentations) at one end of a gel, and an electric current is applied to pull them through the gel. DNA fragments are negatively charged, so they move towards the positive electrode.
