Question
**Question 1**

In this gel, PCR is performed using primers outside of the repeat area, and the product is then run on a gel. Which of these alleles would be the lowest band and which would be the highest band when run on a gel (remember how electrophoresis works!!!)

---

**Alleles**
- **#1** CACACACACACACACACACACACACACACACA
- **#2** CACACACACACACACACACACACACACACACACACACA
- **#3** CACACACACACACACACACACACACACACACACACACACACA

---

**Genotypes**

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6  
- |   | - |   | - | -  

---

- ○ 1 is the lowest band and 3 is the highest band
- ○ 3 is the lowest band and 1 is the highest band
- ○ 1 is the lowest band and 2 is the highest band

---

**Explanation:**
This image illustrates the use of gel electrophoresis to separate PCR products by size. The alleles represent different lengths of repeating CACACA sequences. 

- **Allele #1** has the shortest sequence.
- **Allele #3** has the longest sequence.

During gel electrophoresis, shorter DNA fragments travel further down the gel, resulting in a lower band position, while longer fragments travel less and produce a higher band position.
