Question

The figure below shows bands of DNA that were separated using gel electrophoresis. Which band contains the smallest DNA fragments?

Answer 1

Smaller DNA fragments move faster through the gel in gel electrophoresis.

Step-by-step explanation:

In gel electrophoresis, DNA fragments are separated based on their size. Smaller DNA fragments move faster through the gel due to their lower molecular weight and can be found closer to the positive electrode. Therefore, the band that contains the smallest DNA fragments in the given figure would be the band closest to the positive electrode.

Answer 2

I believe the answer would be Band C.
