Why it is important to place the gel in the correct direction in the gel cassette while running it?

Biology
1 answer:
k0ka [10]2 years ago

The gel should be placed in the correct direction so that the DNA bands can move.

  • DNA is negatively charged due to the presence of phosphate groups, so it can only move towards the positively charged anode, otherwise, it will not move.
  • So, when gel electrophoresis is done the side of the gel where the wells have been created and DNA samples have been loaded is placed at the side of the cathode, whereas the other side is connected to the anode.
  • When the current flows, the DNA fragments also move from negatively charged cathode to positively charged anode as per their mass and size.

Changing one base in a gene could have the
saw5 [17]


answer: 2) sequence of building blocks of a protein found in a cell.

Just random FYI:

- it is a mutation, that is generally not looked upon as being severe or detrimental to the person

-by changing the base by either adding or deleting from a protein strand will cause the protein to be useless

-frameshift mutation deals with DNA sequence being shifted. For example: a DNA strand looks like a ladder. If one of the rungs on the ladders gets skipped and the next ladder rung gets the code that the previous rung should have gotten, then that is what a frameshift mutation is. Hopefully that makes sense. It's easier to explain if there was a picture.

there are other types of mutation but I won't get into them.


Hopefully this helped and good luck.

How the
jekas [21]

Answer:

Our immune system produces antibodies against that antigen of pathogen.

Explanation:

Injecting an antigen from a pathogen would help our immune system memorize the infection and protect our body from causing of the disease because our immune system produces antibodies against that antigen so when the pathogen enters our body these antibodies attack on that and prevent them of causing infection in the body so that's why injecting an  antigen has to be done from the childhood to prevent diseases.
