  1. What is gel electrophoresis? Gel electrophoresis is used to separate DNA fragments.

  2. Gel Electrophoresis Procedure 1. Enzymes cut DNA into fragments 2. DNA is poured into wells on gel 3. An electric current moves DNA through the gel 4. Longer fragments move slowly and shorter fragments move quickly 5. The bands can then be compared with other samples of DNA
