A plasmid DNA has one site for a restriction endonuclease. When cut and separated on agarose gel electrophoresis:
| 1. | only one fragment is seen |
| 2. | two fragments are seen |
| 3. | the cut plasmid DNA will not move and so no fragment is seen |
| 4. | a large number of small sized fragments are seen |
