प्रश्न
Suggest a technique to a researcher who needs to separate fragments of DNA.

उत्तर
Gel electrophoresis is a technique that can be used to separate DNA fragments. Being negatively charged, DNA fragments get separated according to their size as they move towards the anode under the influence of an electric field.
