Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The DNA fragments extracted from gel electrophoresis can be used in the construction of recombinant DNA.
Statement II: Smaller size DNA fragments are observed near the anode while larger fragments are found near the wells in an agarose gel.

• A. Both statement I and statement II are incorrect.
• B. Statement I is correct but statement II is incorrect.
• C. Statement I is incorrect but statement II is correct.
• D. Both statement I and statement II are correct.

Hint:

Gel electrophoresis: Small fragments travel farther. Recombinant DNA uses these fragments.
