Options
- AA-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
- BA-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
- CA-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
- DA-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
Correct answer
D. A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
Step-by-step solution
Agarose is a natural polymer extracted from seaweeds that provides the sieving effect during gel electrophoresis. Ethidium bromide is a specific compound (dye) used to stain the separated DNA fragments. UV radiation is required to visualize the ethidium bromide-stained DNA, which appears as bright orange bands. Elution is the final step where the separated bands of DNA are cut out from the agarose gel and extracted from the gel piece. Therefore, the correct matching is A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I. Answer: A-III, B-IV, C
