I think you should increase the annealing temperature and also reduce the PCR cycles.

Durning agarose electrophoresis of plasmid DNA why a smiling band does comes?
Smiling occurs because of uneven electric fields through the gel
Why would other bands be present in gel electrophoresis if they are not supposed to be present?
This answer assumes that prior to the electrophoresis, you have applied a restriction enzyme to the DNA which breaks it up into fragments of different lengths. Electrophoresis separates fragments of DNA according to their molecular mass, size and charge. Each band will represent a pool of fragments that are the same length. The shortest, lightest fragments will travel the furthest through the gel, where as the long, heavy fragments will not travel very far. The darkness of the band also indicates the frequency of that particular length fragment.
What will be the positions of genomic DNA plasmid DNA and RNA in the agarose gel electrophoresis?
RNA band will be near the wells being single stranded,Genomic DNA will be at the centre of the gel being linear double stranded and plasmid DNA being circular moves faster and will be the brightest hence will be near the base..
Does a single band form in electrophoresis gel if all the DNA fragment is of same size?
if all the fragments are of same size (same fragment length), it will form a single band on an agarose gel. unless you are using other gel electrophoresis technique like DGGE, then only it will separate fragments with different sequences, but that will depends on the resolution power too.
How would you confirm a successful PCR reaction?
You could do an Agarose Gel Electrophoresis. Run your PCR to a DNA ladder and confirm that the size of your amplified gene corresponds to the appropriate size on your DNA ladder (for example, if your gene is approximately 3000 base pairs in length, it should correspond to the 3000 bp band of the DNA ladder).

What is used to sort DNA into different lenghts?
Gel Electrophoresis
How many ions does electrophoresis have?
Electrophoresis is a process by which molecules are separated based on band length. That said, your question makes no sense.

What is created by treating DNA with restriction enzymes to create fragments allowing them to travel in an agarose gel bed with electricity and capturing the results in a type of picture?
When DNA is treated with restriction enzymes, and the fragments are loaded onto a gel which is subjected to electrophoresis, we get a banding pattern of the DNA fragments with the farthest band (from the gel) of those fragments smallest in size.
What do DNA bands represent in the agarose gel electrophoresis?
Each band represents a piece of DNA. The extent to which they move through the gel has to do with the fragment's electrophoretic mobility. The lighter the molecule in general the faster it can move through the gel. Usually when performing a gel electrophoresis one would use markers. These markers would be of known molecular weight and would allow you to compare your DNA fragments and find approximate molecular weights.
Why light band come in agarose gel for amplified PCR product?
you mean faint band? you must have to optimize it. There might be several reasons, you have to play around with the PCR program, concentration of dNTPs, co factors such as Mg or Mn, etc.
Are the DNA fragments in band 4 larger or smaller than those of band 1?
The size of DNA fragments in band 4 should be smaller than those of band 1. The fragments can be separated by electrophoresis, with the smaller fragments migrating farther than the larger ones.
What is a prefix for band?
A prefix for band is "multi-," meaning multiple or many.
