Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -DNA is negatively charged, therefore, when an electric current is applied to the gel, DNA will migrate towards the positively charged electrode.
Detailed explanation-2: -Through the process of protein synthesis, DNA regulates the metabolic processes of the cell. Hence, DNA is negatively charged and not positively charged.
Detailed explanation-3: -DNA is negatively charged because of the presence of phosphate groups in nucleotides. The phosphate backbone of DNA is negatively charged, which is due to the presence of bonds created between the phosphorus and oxygen atoms.
