• $\sf\red{Gel\:electrophoresis}$ is a technique that is used to separate DNA fragments according to their size.
• It can separate DNA fragments from about 200 to 50,000 base pairs (bp).
• Since DNA is a negatively charged molecule, the fragments move toward the positive electrode.
• The fragments travel through the gel according to their molecular weight – with the $\sf\pink{smallest}$ fragments moving the $\sf\purple{greatest}$ distance.
