Step-by-step solution
In gel electrophoresis, agarose is a natural polymer extracted from seaweeds that acts as a sieving matrix for the separation of DNA fragments (A matches II). Ethidium bromide is the specific chemical stain used to make the separated DNA fragments visible (B matches III). UV radiation is the specific electromagnetic radiation required to illuminate the ethidium bromide-stained DNA, causing it to fluoresce as bright orange bands (C matches IV). Elution is the procedural step where the separated bands of DNA are cut
