Gel Electrophoresis in Sorting DNA Fragments is a part of the VCE Biology area of study ‘How do Humans Impact on Biological Processes?’. It is part of the subtopic ‘DNA Manipulation’. Gel electrophoresis is used to separate DNA fragments according to size. It is important to remember that DNA is negatively charged.
