Gel electrophoresis is used for
Options
- AIsolation of DNA molecule
- BCutting of DNA into fragments
- CSeparation of DNA fragments according to their size
- DConstruction of recombinant DNA by joining with cloning vectors
Correct answer
C. Separation of DNA fragments according to their size
Step-by-step solution
After the action of restriction endonuclease the fragments of DNA so formed are separated by gel electrophoresis. This technique is based upon the principle of separation of molecules on the basis of charge and mass.
