Options
- Acentrifugation
- Bpolymerase chain reaction
- Celectrophoresis
- Drestriction mapping
Correct answer
C. electrophoresis
Step-by-step solution
DNA fragments generated by the restriction endonucleases in a chemical reaction can be separated by electrophoresis. The polymerase chain reaction is simply DNA replication in a test tube. Restriction mapping is the process of obtaining structural information on a piece of DNA by the use of restriction enzymes, e.g., endonucleases that recognise specific 4 to 8 base regions of DNA.
