In a restriction enzyme digestion experiment, a DNA fragment of 1 kilobases length is used. This fragment harbors three 5'-GAATTC-3' restriction sites. After the restriction digestion of this fragment with EcoRI, 3 DNA fragments corresponding to 500, 300 & 100 base pairs are observed in the agarose gel electrophoresis AGE. Predict the positions of the restriction site (GAATTC) in the undigested 1 kb-fragment which will result in the observed bands in AGE.

Assertion (A): Chromogenic substrates give blue-coloured colonies if the plasmid does not have an insert.

Reason (R): Recombinant colonies produce colour in presence of the chromogenic substrates due to the presence of β galactosidase.
