Given below are four statements pertaining to the separation of DNA fragments using Gel electrophoresis. Identify the correct statements:
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. Only (c) and (d)
2. Only (a) and (c)
3. Only (b) and (c)
4. Only (a) and (b)
| (a) | DNA fragments are negatively charged molecules and can be separated by forcing them to move towards the anode under an electric field through a medium/matrix. |
| (b) | The separation of DNA fragments is possible because they differ in size. |
| (c) | Smaller the size of the DNA fragment, shorter the distance it travels through agarose gel. |
| (d) | Pure DNA can be visualized directly by exposing it to UV radiation without any staining. |
