“Ethidium bromide stained DNA” can be seen under exposure to UV  is the correct statement in context of observing “DNA separated by agarose gel”.

Answer: Option d

Explanation:

  • The ethidium bromide is added in the buffer to separate the DNA by the agarose gel electrophoresis process.
  • This is used because the DNA binds with the molecule and the binding pattern can be seen.
  • By the addition of the ethidium bromide in the gel it will be very easy to determine and visualizing the DNA pattern and the result of the electrophoresis.
