All of the given statements are true with respect to the separation of DNA fragments by gel electrophoresis except:
1. The cutting of DNA by restriction endonucleases results in fragments of DNA and these fragments can be separated by this technique.
2. The most commonly used matrix is agarose which is a natural polymer extracted from seaweeds.
3. The DNA fragments resolve according to their size. Hence, the larger the fragment size, the farther it moves.
4. The separated DNA fragments can be visualised only after staining the DNA with a compound known as ethidium bromide.
