### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Gel Electrophoresis**: Gel electrophoresis is a laboratory technique used to separate DNA fragments based on their size. The process relies on the principle that DNA molecules are negatively charged due to their phosphate backbone. 2. **Preparation of Gel**: A gel, typically made of agarose or polyacrylamide, is prepared and placed in an electrophoresis chamber. Wells are created in the gel to load the DNA samples. ...
