In agarose gel electrophoresis, the DNA fragments produced by restriction enzyme digestion:

1.  will move towards anode with smaller fragments moving farther than the larger segments
2.  will move towards anode with larger fragments moving farther than the smaller segments
3.  will move towards cathode with smaller fragments moving farther than the larger segments
4.  will move towards cathode with larger fragments moving farther than the smaller segments

Identify the correct statement:
1.  DNA is the genetic material of all organisms without exception.
2.  As it is an RNA world, the genetic material is ds RNA in majority of the organisms.
3.  Since the DNA is enclosed within the membranes, we have to break the cell open to release DNA along with other macromolecules.
4.  Proteins such as histones can be removed from the cell lysate with the help of ribonuclease.

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A):  Agar gel electrophoresis is employed to check the progression of a restriction enzyme digestion.
Reason (R):  Restriction enzyme digestion is performed by incubating purified DNA molecules with the restriction enzymes, at the optimal conditions for that specific enzyme.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
1.  Both (A) and (R) are False.
2.  Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not explain (A).
3.  (A) is True but (R) is False.
4.  Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) explains (A).

Gene cloning occurs:

1.  when a phage transfers bacterial DNA from one bacterium to another.
2.  when a bacterium takes up DNA from the surrounding fluid.
3.  when a bacterium carrying a recombinant plasmid reproduces, thus allowing for the production of multiple copies of the recombinant plasmid. 
4.  when DNA is produced from an RNA template.
