**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding DNA Fragmentation**: - DNA is often fragmented using enzymes known as restriction endonucleases. These enzymes cut the DNA at specific sequences, resulting in smaller DNA fragments. 2. **Separation of DNA Fragments**: - The fragmented DNA is not visible to the naked eye. To separate and visualize these fragments, a technique called gel electrophoresis is employed. ...
