Answer:

Negative to positive electrode

Since DNA is a negatively charged macromolecule.

Explanation:

DNA is a polymer of nucleotide each of which has a phosphate residue, a pentose sugar, and a nitrogenous base. The presence of phosphate residue in the DNA backbone imparts the whole DNA molecule a negative charge.

Since DNA is negatively charged, various DNA fragments are loaded at the negative terminal during the gel electrophoresis to allow their movement towards the positive electrode present at the other extreme end.

BRAINLEST SUPER EZ QUESTION Why is ocean water considered a mixture but a cup of water is a pure substance?
devlian [24]

Ocean water is a mixture! Salt and water together, makes salt water, since the salt dissolves in it.

Normal water in a cup, though, is a pure substance. Nothing is in it, and its purified, so it is not a mixture.

If it's more than one things, it's a mixture!

I hope this helps!
