- B1, 2 and 3 are incorrect
- C1 and 2 are incorrect
- DOnly 4 is correct
Correct answer
C. 1 and 2 are incorrect
Step-by-step solution
Since the DNA is enclosed within the membranes, we have to break the cell open to release DNA along with other macromolecules such as RNA, proteins, polysaccharides and also lipids. This can be achieved by treating the bacterial cells/plant or animal tissue with enzymes such as lysozyme (bacteria), cellulase (plant cells), chitinase (fungus).
