A student is performing gel electrophoresis with various dna fragments. fragment a is 100 base pairs long, fragment b is 320 base pairs long, and fragment c is 175 base pairs long. from shortest to longest distance traveled, in what order will the fragments appear on the gel?

The smaller/shorter fragments travel faster.
So "c" will travel the farthest, then "b" and "a" the shortest distance.

The distance traveled by DNA fragments during Gel electrophoresis is dependent on size. Hence, the distance traveled arranged from shortest to longest is :

Fragment A - > Fragment C - > Fragment B

  • Gel electrophoresis is a procedure used to Seperate DNA Fragments based on the size of the fragments.

  • There is a direct proportional relationship between the size of DNA fragments and the distance traveled by the fragments

  • Smaller sized Fragments travels shorter distances than larger fragments

Therefore, Fragment A will have the shortest distance, then Fragment C, then Fragment B.
