AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the technique used for the separation of DNA fragments. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A: Autoradiography**: This is an imaging technique that uses radioactive materials to visualize samples. It does not separate DNA fragments. - **Option B: Gel Electrophoresis**: This is a molecular technique that separates biomolecules, including DNA, based on their size. DNA fragments move through a gel in response to an electric current, with smaller fragments moving faster than larger ones. - **Option C: Microinjection**: This technique involves injecting substances, such as DNA, into living cells using a micropipette. It does not separate DNA fragments. - **Option D: Gel Filtration Chromatography**: Also known as size exclusion chromatography, this technique separates molecules based on size but is not specifically used for separating DNA fragments. 3. **Identifying the Correct Technique**: After analyzing all the options, it is clear that gel electrophoresis is specifically designed for the separation of DNA fragments based on their size. 4. **Conclusion**: The technique used for the separation of DNA fragments is **gel electrophoresis**. ---
