Neet Solved Paper 2013 Question 37
Question: DNA fragments generated by the restriction endonucleases in a chemical reaction can be separated by
Options:
A) centrifugation
B) polymerase chain reaction
C) electrophoresis
D) restriction mapping
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
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.
