The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the name of a stain that identifies DNA as orange strands when viewed under UV light. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1: Hematocyanin** - This stain is known to produce a deep blue-purple color and is used in histology for examining tissues. Therefore, it is not the correct answer. - **Option 2: Eosin** - Eosin is a dye that stains cytoplasm and gives a bright pink color. This option is also incorrect as it does not produce an orange color. - **Option 3: Ethidium Bromide** - Ethidium bromide is a well-known intercalating agent used to stain DNA. When exposed to UV light, it emits an orange color, making it the correct choice. - **Option 4: Methylene Blue** - Methylene blue is used for various purposes, including identifying infections, and it produces a blue color, which is not the answer we are looking for. 3. **Conclusion**: After analyzing all the options, the appropriate stain that identifies DNA as orange strands under UV light is **Ethidium Bromide**. **Final Answer**: Ethidium Bromide ---
