Answer:

a. there is a pH gradient that parallels the electric field gradient.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gel electrophoresis is a technique used to separate DNA fragments according to their size. DNA samples are loaded in the wells and then electric current is applied to pull the DNA fragments out from the gel. Isoelectric gel electrophoresis is a process in which negatively charged DNA fragments are separated from the gel.
