Gel electrophoresis is a technique used to separate:
A. Cells based on density
B. DNA fragments based on size
C. Lipids based on solubility
D. Proteins based on charge only

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Gel electrophoresis is a widely used technique to separate charged molecules, primarily DNA, RNA, or proteins, in an electric field through a gel matrix (usually agarose for DNA).
