Some definitions without full choice

Assume DC($\aleph_1$).

Can we define the following:

  1. Basis for a vector space $V$ over a field $K$ such that $\card K \leq \aleph_1$ and we happen to find a generating set of $V$ of cardinality $\leq \aleph_1$.
  2. Linear dimension making the same assumption as above.
  3. Transcendence degree of a field $K$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ if we happen to know that $K$ is of cardinality $\leq \aleph_1$. etc...
