NEET (UG) 2023 — Question 82

During the purification process for recombinant DNA technology, addition of chilled ethanol precipitates out

  1. Option A:

    DNA

    Correct
  2. Option B:

    Histones

  3. Option C:

    polysaccharides

  4. Option D:

    RNA

Answer: A

Step-by-step solution

Option (1) is the correct answer as, during isolation of the genetic material, purified DNA

ultimately precipitates out after the addition of chilled ethanol. Option (2) is not the answer as,

proteins can be removed by treatment with proteases. Option (4) is not the answer as RNA can be

removed by treatment with ribonuclease.
