Answer 1

Answer:

In this lab, a visual representation of the process of DNA profiling was created by  the process of gel electrophoresis. This process begins by using a restriction enzyme to  cut the DNA into smaller fragments. The DNA fragments are placed in the holes of gel  called wells. The gel is placed near the negative electrode. The DNA fragments travel  toward the positive electrode because the DNA fragments are attracted to that side.  The small molecules moved quickly through the gel and the large molecules moved slowly, creating a pattern of bands that can by analyzed.

Explanation:

DNA profiling can be described as a forensic technique which is using for comparing the DNA of different suspects with the DNA found at the crime site.

Gel electrophoresis can be described as a process through which different samples of DNA are separated based on their size and charge to mass ratio. The fragments of the DNA run on an agarose gel where they run from the negative terminal to the positive terminal depending on their size. The smaller molecules having a smaller mass will move faster than the larger molecules.
