The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understand the Question**: The question asks for the chemical used to precipitate purified DNA during the isolation of genetic material. 2. **Analyze the Options**: - **Option A: Bromophenol blue**: This is a dye used for staining and does not play a role in DNA precipitation. - **Option B: Chilled ethanol**: This is commonly used in laboratory procedures to precipitate DNA from a solution. - **Option C: Ethidium bromide**: This chemical is used for visualizing DNA after it has been separated by gel electrophoresis, not for precipitation. - **Option D: Both A and C**: Since both A and C are incorrect, this option is also incorrect. 3. **Identify the Correct Answer**: After analyzing the options, it is clear that the chemical used to precipitate out the purified DNA is **chilled ethanol**. 4. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is **Option B: Chilled ethanol**. ---
