A selectable marker is used to:

1.  help in eliminating the non-transformants so that the transformants can be regenerated.
2.  identify the gene for the desired trait in an alien organism.
3.  select a suitable vector for transformation in a specific crop.
4.  mark a gene on a chromosome for isolation using a restriction enzyme.

Given below are four statements pertaining to the separation of DNA fragments using gel electrophoresis. Identify the incorrect statements:

(a) DNA is a negatively charged molecule and so it is loaded on gel towards the anode terminal.
(b) DNA fragments travel along the surface of the gel, whose concentration does not affect the movement of DNA.
(c) The smaller the DNA fragment, the greater the distance it travels through it.
(d) Pure DNA can be visualized directly by exposing it to UV radiation.


Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

1. (a), (c) and (d) 2. (a), (b) and (c)
3. (b), (c) and (d) 4. (a), (b) and (d)
