As far as my knowledge goes, the yellow area is mitosis, and mitosis is a process of cell division which results in two new nuclei (each containing a complete copy of the parental chromosomes)
Cell cycle is a series of events that leads to development of two daughter cells from a parent cell. The two main phases of cell cycle are interphase and mitosis. Interphase is the longest phase of cell, while mitosis takes much less time than interphase.
During interphase cell prepares for division and replicates its DNA, while mitotic phase involves actual cell division. During mitosis, division of nucleus and cytoplasm takes place to form two daughter cells.
The answer is size. The larger
the DNA molecule the slower it travels through the gel. This is because
of the restriction of their movement through the pores of the gel. The smaller DNA molecules travel furthest. The size
of the pores can be varied through by changing the mixture ratios of the agarose gel.
