In DNA Fingerprinting, Amplified Fragments of DNA are Separated from One

Question

In DNA fingerprinting, amplified fragments of DNA are separated from one another by which process?
A) filtering
B) chromatography
C) electrophoresis
D) PCR (polymerase chain reaction)

Accepted Answer

In DNA fingerprinting, amplified fragments of DNA are separated from one another by electrophoresis. This involves running the fragments through a gel matrix using an electrical field, separating the fragments based on size and charge. This allows for the identification of specific DNA fragments, which can be used for identification or analysis.
