Given below are four statements pertaining to the separation of DNA fragments using Gel electrophoresis. Identify the correct statements:
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.
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)
