bElectrophoresis
cPolymerase chain reaction
dBioprocess engineering
✓ Correct answer: b) Electrophoresis
ExplanationDNA fragments in a mixture can be separated on the basis of their size by a technique known as gel electrophoresis.In this techniques, DNA samples are loaded into wells (indentations) at one end of a gel, and an electric current is applied to pull them through the gel.DNA fragments are negatively charged, so they move towards the positive electrode.
