Learning Target #2 - Describe how the process of gel electrophoresis works and give at least two examples of when biologists would use this technology (what real world applications does this allow us to do?).
Questions to answer:
What makes the DNA move and what determines how far it will move? How are results of DNA fingerprinting interpreted
