NEET (UG) 2025 — Question 127

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Statement I and the other is labelled as Statement II:

Statement I: The DNA fragments extracted from gel electrophoresis can be used in construction of recombinant DNA.

Statement II: Smaller size DNA fragments are observed near anode while larger fragments are found near the wells in an agarose gel.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. Option A:

    Both statement I and statement II are correct

    Correct
  2. Option B:

    Statement I is correct but statement II is incorrect

  4. Option D:

    Statement I is incorrect but statement II is correct

Answer: A

Step-by-step solution

Statement I correctly describes that DNA extracted from gel can be used for recombinant DNA construction.

Statement II correctly explains that smaller DNA fragments move faster and farther than larger ones in agarose gel.
