How do you know which molecule is the smallest in a DNA fingerprint?

The smallest molecule travels fastest once the current is switched on.
If the process is slab gel electrophoresis, the smallest molecule (or rather, about 200 million of them following PCR or some other process of amplification) will be the one nearest the positively-charged end of the gel.
If the analysis is by capillary electrophoresis, the smallest molecule will be the first one to pass the window and interrupt the laser beam.

What is a DNA fingerprint?
Everyone has their own unique DNA fingerprint. DNA is mixed with some kind of chemical (I'm afraid I don't know the specifics) which creates a unique image that slightly resembles a barcode.
Which is the smallest a mite hydrogen atom DNA molecule or virus?

When comparing the DNA fingerprints of a parent and child the parent's DNA fingerprint must have?
DNA bands that match those in the child's fingerprint and that aren't from the other parent.
Can DNA be taken from a fingerprint?
yes

How is a DNA FINGERPRINT PRODUCES?
Selected fragments are used to produce a DNA fingerprint.
Are a DNA fingerprint and a genetic fingerprint the same?
no its classed as a making of your body for people such as police or crime scene investigators
What does DNA fingerprint shows?
A DNA fingerprint refers to the fact that a person's DNA code is as unique to that person as his/her fingerprint. A person can be implicated for a crime or ruled out as the criminal based on his/her DNA code.
What is a DNA fingerprint who can have the same DNA fingerprint as yours?
A DNA fingerprint is really all the genes that are found in in your chromosomes. No two are ever alike except for identical twins (or triplets).
When comparing the DNA fingerprints of a parent and child the parent's DNA fingerprint must have?
DNA bands that match those in the child's fingerprint and that aren't from the other parent.
Can DNA be taken from a fingerprint?
yes
Does a molecule have DNA?
DNA is a molecule so no.
A characteristic of a DNA molecule that is not a characteristic of a protein molecule is that the DNA molecule?
A characteristic of a DNA molecule that is not characteristic of a protein molecule is that the DNA molecule can replicate itself.
What does a DNA fingerprint look like?
A DNA fingerprint could appear in a few different ways depending on it's use. Sometimes a DNA fingerprint just appears as a series of lines on a square board.
