Answer #1

DNA molecules are able to move through a gel due to

B. Electric fields

Explanation-
DNA being negatively charged moves on the gel plate to the positive terminal and this is total based on the size of the DNA particles as the shorter ones travel quicker and to a greater distance than the larger one's and hence are seperated.


C. Buffers
Explanation -
Buffers maintain the pH balance of the plate and provides the DNA particles with suitable pH for easy movement and seperation.

A. Diffusion
Explanation -
Diffusion can too be regarded as one of the reason as due to diffusion only the movement of macromolecules take place on the gel plate be it be agar or agrose gel plate.

Magnetic field have no such role.

But most preferred and suitable answer is Electric field and Buffers.
