- Shown are the configuration of a gel electrophoresis experiment. Charged plates establish an electric field on a region of gel between the plates. A solution of DNA fragments, which acquire a negative charge in solution, is analyzed by using an electric field to drive the fragments through the gel. A drag force opposes the motion, causing the fragments to move at a constant speed. Larger fragments move more slowly, so the fragments separate by size to give a “fingerprint” of the sample. What is the energy transformation as the fragments move through the gel?A. Electric potential energy to kinetic energyB. Electric potential energy to thermal energyC. Electric potential energy to kinetic energy and thermal energyD. Kinetic energy to thermal energyarrow_forward17.
