Select the correct statement from the following:

1. Gel electrophoresis is used for the amplification of a DNA segment.
2. The polymerase enzyme joins the gene of interest and the vector DNA.
3. Restriction enzyme digestions are performed by incubating purified DNA molecules with the restriction enzymes of optimum conditions.
4. PCR is used for the isolation and separation of genes of interest.

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)
