Gel electrophoresis is used for 

  • cutting of DNA into fragments

  • separation of DNA fragments according to their size

  • construction of recombinant DNA by joining with cloning vectors

  • isolation of DNA molecule

Solution

B.

separation of DNA fragments according to their size

When genomic DNA extracted from any tissue of a plant or animal species is digested with a restriction enzyme, it is cleaved into segments. The segments of different size can be separated through gel electrophoresis. Gel electrophoresis involves the movement of fragments or molecules from a well created on edge of the gel.
