Best Answer

The most obvious application of physics in DNA fingerprinting involves the separation of fragments of DNA based on their mass and charge. This is done in a "gel electrophoresis" apparatus that pulls the fragments through a gel using an electric field. The physics therefore is that of the electric field, electric charge, and the resulting force to mass ratio.
