The correct option is a.pharynx.

The gastrointestinal system includes the organs and glands involved in the digestion and absorption of food. It includes the oesophagus, stomach, small intestines, large intestine, liver and pancreas. The food is broken down into smaller particles in the stomach.

The food is then acted upon by various enzymes to reduce them into simplest forms which facilitate their absorption.

The pharynx serves as a common passage for food and air. It is a part of the digestive system and conducting zone of the respiratory system. The human pharynx has three parts-nasopharynx, oropharynx and laryngopharynx. It is also important in vocalisation.

True or false: In a gel electrophoresis gel, a DNA fragment containing 100 bp (base pairs) would travel faster (and further) tha

vova2212 [387]

Answer: true

Explanation: In gel electrophoresis, the smaller the size/molecular weight of DNA the faster it moves across the gel and vise versa. This is as a result of the pore size of the gel which is usually prepared 1g of agarose in 100ml of distilled water. So a DNA fragment with 1000 base pairs will "struggle" its movement across the gel pore making it mive less faster and further. Movement and molecular weight of DNA are inversely proportional.
