Expert Answer
(a) In electrophoresis, fragments move towards the anode according to their molecular size. The smaller fragments move farther away as compared to larger fragments. DNA fragments in band 'D' are smaller in size than fragments in band 'C'. Therefore, they moved faster and farther away.
(b) The anode end is 'B' as DNA fragments in band 'D' moved farther away towards the ‘B’ end than fragments in band ‘C’.
(c) The separated DNA fragments can be visualised by staining the DNA with ethidium bromide followed by exposure to UV radiation.
