What is used to separate DNA fragments by size?
Electrophoresis. Restriction enzymes are used to cut DNA into fragments. Solutions containing these fragments are placed on the surface of a gel to which an electric current is applied. The electric current causes the DNA fragments to move through the gel. Because smaller fragments move more quickly than larger ones, this process separates the fragments according to size.
What fragments move the fastest in gel electrophoresis?
Smallest
What causes sediment and rock to move to lower elevations through time?
SUNLIGHT causes sediment rocks to move to lower elevations through time.
Why do the dyes move in the direction they do once the power is turned on in gel electrophoresis?
???
What is pulsed field gel electrophoresis?
This method is a mode of gel electrophoresis in which the applied field is switched between poles so the DNA sample is constantly re oriented within the frame work of the gel. This re alignment allows the sample to move smoothly through the gel

Energy is done when a force causes an object to move?
Work is done when force causes an object to move and capacity of doing work is called energy So, energy is required and consumed when force causes an object to move

What color associated with charge does DNA move towards in a gel electrophoresis box?
it is positive
How does gel electrophoresis separate DNA fragments?
There is a specific density of gel used in the electrophoresis. The DNA is placed in a well, and then electrical charge is used to pull the DNA through the gel. Because spliced DNA is slightly charged, it begins to move through the gel. The density of the gel causes the larger pieces to go slower than the smaller pieces. Think of it like this: what is a faster way to get through rush hour traffic? Using a bicycle to pedal through all the cars, or being stuck in a taxi cab. The taxi cab, which is larger, moves slower through the traffic. The bicycle which is smaller, moves quicker.

In gel electrophoresis what travels through the gel causing DNA to move?
An electric current. DNA is negatively charged so it migrates toward the positive pole of the gel set up.
How does electrophoresis work?
Electrophoresis for nucleic acids (RNA and DNA) works by separating segments by their size. This is possible because RNA and DNA are negatively charged, so will move towards the positive charge applied to one end of the gel. The different segments separate because small fragments of RNA or DNA are able to move more quickly through the gel than larger fragments.
