The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Gel Electrophoresis**: Gel electrophoresis is a technique used to separate macromolecules like DNA and RNA based on their size and charge. 2. **Formation of Wells**: In the gel, wells are created where the samples are to be loaded. These wells are small indentations at one end of the gel. 3. **Loading the Sample**: The samples (DNA, RNA, or proteins) are loaded into these wells before the electric field is applied. 4. **Application of Electric Field**: Once the samples are loaded, an electric field is applied across the gel. The negatively charged molecules (like DNA) will migrate towards the positive electrode. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the sample is initially loaded into the wells at one end of the gel, which is the starting point for the electrophoresis process. **Final Answer**: The sample is loaded at the wells of the gel. ---
