(i) It represents a typical agarose gel electrophoresis in which lane 1 contains undigested DNA
(ii) Smallest DNA bands are formed at A and largest DNA bands are formed at B
(iii) The separated DNA fragments can be visualized after staining in the visible light
(iv) The separated DNA bands are cut out from the agarose gel and extracted from the gel piece. this step is known as elution.

Options

A. (i) and (ii)
B. (ii) and (iii)
C. (ii) and (iv)
D. Person can see the bands without staining.
