Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions
The separated DNA fragments can be visualized only after staining the DNA with ethidium bromide followed by exposure to UV radiation. Bright orange colored bands of DNA in ethidium bromide stained gel exposed to UV light can be seen. The separated bands of DNA are cut out from the agarose gel and extracted from the gel piece. This step is known as elution. The DNA fragments purified in this way are used in constructing recombinant DNA by joining them with a cloning vector.
The DNA fragments are separated by-
- A Forcing them to move towards anode under an electric field
- B Forcing them to move towards cathode under an electric field
- C Forcing them to move towards anode under an electromagnetic field
- D Forcing them to move towards cathode under an magnetic field
Answer & Solution

- Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions.
The B-lymphocytes produce an army of proteins in response to pathogens. Each antibody molecule has four peptide chains, two small called light chains and two longer called heavy chains. Virus-infected cells secrete proteins called interferons which protect non-infected cells from further viral infection. Symptoms of allergic reactions include sneezing, watery eyes, running nose and difficulty in breathing. The use of drugs like anti-histamine, adrenalin and steroids quickly reduce the symptoms of allergy.
Lymphoid organs are the organs where origin and/or maturation and proliferation of lymphocytes occur. The primary lymphoid organs are bone marrow and thymus. After maturation the lymphocytes migrate to secondary lymphoid organs like spleen, lymph nodes, tonsils, Peyer's patches of small intestine and appendix. Heroin commonly called smack is chemically diacetylmorphine which is a white, odourless, bitter crystalline compound. This is obtained by acetylation of morphine, which is extracted from the latex of poppy plant Papaver somniferum.
