Gel Electrophoresis
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Gel electrophoresis separates DNA or RNA fragments by size, using an electric field to pull the negatively charged fragments through a porous gel.
Show
Smaller fragments move farther through the gel than larger fragments in the same amount of time, forming a ladder of separated bands.
Watch for
Electrophoresis separates fragments by size alone — it does not itself reveal a fragment's sequence.
