Alleles are passed from parents to offspring through the process of inheritance during reproduction. Alleles are located on chromosomes, which are found in the cell nucleus. When gametes (sperm and egg cells) are formed, alleles segregate and are randomly distributed to the offspring, resulting in genetic variation.

Not always. Different chromosomal fragments travel different distances in electrophoresis due to their different lengths. Longer fragments are heavier and therefore travel shorter distances under the same electrical force.
