Answer:

A) altering the nucleotide sequence of the DNA fragment

Explanation:

Gel electrophoresis is a technique to separate the DNA fragments on the basis of their charges and size. DNA fragments are made to migrate through a gel in an electric field. DNA has nucleotides and the presence of phosphate groups makes it a negatively charged molecule. In the gel electrophoresis, DNA fragment migrates through the gel toward the positive pole. Also, the gel slows down the large molecules more than the small molecules. Therefore, the DNA fragments are separated by size. However, the sequence of the nucleotide of DNA fragments does not affect the rate of their migration in the gel.
