Step-by-step solution
Agarose is a natural polymer extracted from seaweeds that provides the sieving effect for the separation of DNA fragments. Ethidium bromide is a compound used to stain the separated DNA fragments, which can then be visualized as bright orange bands under UV light. Elution is the process where the separated bands of DNA are cut out from the agarose gel and extracted from the gel piece. The anode is the positive electrode. Since DNA is negatively charged, it moves towards the anode during gel electrophoresis. Answer:
