Contacting a local hospital and asking them the percentage of the population that has blood type O will generate different results.
The factors that we have to consider why there is differing results are:
1) location of the hospital
2) nationality of their patients
3) number of their patients
I am assuming that the population that question is referring to is the number of patients in the local hospital. The bigger the population, the smaller the effect a unit has on the whole and vice versa.
I read an article that states that 37% of the U.S. population has O+ blood type. These people are usually of Hispanic descent or some Asian descent. So, if a hospital is in a locality that has a majority of Hispanic or Asian patients, its percentage will be higher than a hospital that is located in a Caucasian-populated area.
Aside from Type O+ (most common), blood types also include: O-, A+, A-, B+, B-, AB+, and AB- (rarest blood type)

See the explanation.
Explanation:
Gel electrophoresis is a technique used to separate DNA fragments by size and charge. Electrophoresis consists in applying a current through a gel that contains the molecules of interest. Based on their size and load, the molecules will travel through the gel in different directions or at different speeds, thereby separating each other. All DNA molecules have the same amount of charge per mass. Because of this, gel electrophoresis separates DNA fragments only by their size.
Electrophoresis allows us to see how many different DNA fragments are present in a sample and how large they are with respect to each other. We can also determine the absolute size of a DNA fragment by examining it next to a standard "scale" of fragments of known size.
Hope this helps!
Based on the observance of DNA, now appearing as 3 segments, the purpose of the enzyme was most likely to split and or break down, cut the DNA at appropriate sites of the respective nucleotide sequences, that the enzyme can recognize and cut, ultimately producing these 3 segments.
