Dna isolated from water samples collected in six different sites was prepared and analyzed by gel electrophoresis for the presence of carp. the resulting gel is shown. lanes 1 through 6 contain the dna from each site. lanes 7 and 8 represent the negative and positive controls.

based on the banding patterns, how many sites tested positive for carp?

Gel electrophoresis can be defined as the process of separation of the macro-molecules  and the fragments based on their charge and size. In the gel electrophoresis given, the lane 7 indicates the negative control, and the lane 8 indicates the positive control. The bands formed in the lanes 1,3,5, and 6 corresponds to the ban in the lane 8, which is a positive control. Hence, based on these observations, it can be said that a total of 4 sites tested positive for carp.
