  • C. Cell culture
  • D. Gel Electrophoresis

Explanation

Gel electrophoresis is a technique used to separate DNA fragments according to their size and speed.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.
