Detailed explanation-1: -Gel electrophoresis is a technique used to separate DNA fragments (or other macromolecules, such as RNA and proteins) based on their size and charge. Electrophoresis involves running a current through a gel containing the molecules of interest.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gel electrophoresis is a method for separation and analysis of biomacromolecules (DNA, RNA, proteins, etc.) and their fragments, based on their size and charge.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gel electrophoresis is a laboratory method used to separate mixtures of DNA, RNA, or proteins according to molecular size. In gel electrophoresis, the molecules to be separated are pushed by an electrical field through a gel that contains small pores.

Detailed explanation-4: -The correct statement is option a-Smaller fragments travel more quickly than larger fragments. Agarose gel electrophoresis is a molecular technique that is used to separate molecules based on the size. The gel used for separation is made up of agarose which is a solidifying agent.

Detailed explanation-5: -In agarose gel electrophoresis, the DNA fragments separate out (resolve) according to their size or length because of the sieving property of agarose gel.
