The technique used to visualize and separate DNA fragments based on size is:
A. Microscopy
B. Centrifugation
C. PCR
D. Gel electrophoresis
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Agarose gel electrophoresis separates DNA fragments by size as they move through the gel under an electric field; smaller fragments migrate faster. DNA is stained with ethidium bromide and visualized under UV light. PCR amplifies DNA, centrifugation separates by density, microscopy provides magnified images. Gel electrophoresis is essential in molecular biology and forensics.
Explanation:
Paramecium is a unicellular ciliated protozoan found in freshwater. Earthworm and Hydra are multicellular animals, mushroom is a multicellular fungus. Unicellular organisms carry out all life processes within a single cell.
Explanation:
Chlorophyll and other photosynthetic pigments are embedded in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, where they participate in light-dependent reactions. The stroma contains enzymes for the Calvin cycle. The cell wall and cytoplasm are not sites of photosynthesis.
