Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Bright orange colour

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Option \((1)\) is the correct answer because in recombinant \(DNA\) technology the separated \(DNA\) fragments can be visualised only after staining the \(DNA\) with a substance known as ethidium bromide followed by exposure to \(U.V.\) radiation. You can see bright orange coloured bands of \(DNA\) in an ethidium bromide stained gel exposed to \(U.V.\) light.
