The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Select the incorrect statement," we will analyze each of the provided statements one by one to identify which ones are incorrect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate Statement 1**: - The statement claims that "the normal E. coli cell carries resistance against ampicillin, tetracycline, and kanamycin." - This statement is incorrect because normal E. coli does not have inherent resistance to these antibiotics. Resistance is typically conferred through genetic modification or plasmid insertion. 2. **Evaluate Statement 2**: - The statement says, "separated DNA fragments can be visualized only after staining the DNA." - This statement is correct. DNA fragments need to be stained (for example, with ethidium bromide) to be visualized, especially after gel electrophoresis. 3. **Evaluate Statement 3**: - The statement claims, "you can see pure DNA fragments in the visible light without staining." - This statement is incorrect. Pure DNA fragments cannot be visualized in visible light without staining; they require staining and observation under UV light after electrophoresis. 4. **Evaluate Statement 4**: - The statement states, "both 1 and 3." - Since both Statement 1 and Statement 3 are incorrect, this statement is also correct in identifying the incorrect statements. ### Conclusion: The incorrect statements are both 1 and 3, making option 4 the correct answer to the question. ### Final Answer: **Option 4: Both 1 and 3.** ---
