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)

In the above diagram showing a typical agaro gel
electrophoresis

1. Lane 1 shows undigested DNA fragment

2. Lane 4 shows largest DNA particles towards ‘y’

3. The procedure helps to form clones of DNA

4. The procedure takes place as the DNA fragments
are double stranded

DNA fragments separated by gel electrophoresis are shown. Mark the correct statement :

 

1. Band 3 contains more positively charged DNA molecules than band 1.
2. Band 3 indicates more charge density than bands 1 and 2.
3. Band 1 has longer DNA fragment than bands 2 and 3.
4. All bands have equal lengths and charges but differ in base composition.
