Answer:
Smaller the size of the DNA fragment, farther it moves during electrophoresis. The sketch of the position of the fragments has been drawn in the figure below.
Explanation:
As we know DNA is a negatively charged molecule. So during electrophoresis the fragments move towards the positive electrode because opposite charges attract each other.
Different fragment move different distances according to their size during the electrophoresis. Smallest segment travels the largest distance in the gel medium while the largest one travels least distance.
In the question there are four DNA fragments with base pairs 4000, 2500, 2000 and 400 so the smallest segment with 400bp will be farthest from the starting point and the largest fragment with 4000bp will travel least distance in the gel medium. Their respective positions are shown in the figure below. The starting point is near the negative electrode.
The difference in concentration between solutions on either side of a cell membrane is a concentration gradient.
In the field of biology, a concentration gradient can be described as a difference in the concentration of molecules inside and outside of a cell. It is due to concentration gradient that molecules move into and out of a cell through the cell membrane.
Some molecules move from an area of higher concentration gradient to an area of lower concentration along the concentration gradient. Diffusion is an example of such a process.
On the other hand, some molecules move from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration against the concentration gradient. Active transport is an example of such a process.
