Which one of the following statement is not true regarding gel electrophoresis technique?
- AThe process of extraction of separated DNA strands from gel is called elution.
- BThe separated DNA fragments are stained by using ethidium bromide.
- CThe presence of chromogenic substrate gives blue coloured DNA bands on the gel.
- DBright orange coloured bands of DNA can be observed in the gel when exposed to UV light.
