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

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.

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

E-You disagree because the resulting increase in phytoplankton at the surface would inhibit sunlight from penetrating into the water, thus inhibiting photosynthesis in the submerged plants.

Explanation:

Eutrophication is the process wherein nutrients specifically phosphorus and nitrogen are present in excess in a water body such as a lake. The increased concentration of nutrients promoter the growth of cyanobacteria and algae such as phytoplankton.

The increased population of phytoplankton in surface water reduces the oxygen availability and clarity of water for the organisms present in deeper layers.  Also, reduced clarity of water limits the amount of solar radiations penetrating the surface water to reach the deeper layers.

Increased nutrient levels of the lake would rather inhibit the growth of submerged plants due to reduced availability of sunlight as caused by presence of phytoplankton in surface water.
