Regarding competence for bacterial cell transformation:

I:  Natural competence is not seen in bacterial cells as DNA is hydrophilic and a large molecule.
II:  Competence can be induced in bacterial cells with the help of divalent cations and brief heat shock.

1. Only I is correct.
2. Only II is correct.
3. Both I and II are correct.
4. Both I and II are incorrect.

Consider the two statements:
I: Agar Gel electrophoresis is useful in analysis of DNA.
II: DNA is generally positively charged due to its nitrogenous bases so an electrical field forces it to move toward a negative pole.
 
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I
3. I is correct but II is incorrect
4. Both I and II are incorrect
