Answer #1

The longest DNA fragment is found in A

Sample B contains only two short fragments and sample C contains 10 fragments that are shorter than the longest fragment in A. During electrophoresis the negatively charged DNA migrates towards the positively charged electrode (anode) through the gel. The speed of movement of the DNA fragments depends on the size of the fragments. The shorter the fragments the faster it migrates. So in the gel the band located just below the dye front is the shortest DNA fragment and the band located at the top (just below the well) is the longest DNA fragment.
