One option is that the samples run through gel electrophoresis is too small to be recognized (shorter strands of DNA travel further through the gel and larger strands travel shorter). The other option in that the restriction enzyme did not cut the DNA in the proper spot or there was a mutation in the bases that allowed for a mistake in the cutting; that is why there are 800 base pairs in one sample (that's a lot) An example of a mutation is that lets say the restriction enzyme was supposed to cut at the second G in GGACC. But if that G was turned into an A, then the restriction enzyme wouldn't cut there.
For number 5, you might have 800 because of the restriction enzyme cutting it wrong, a mutation that allowed for the cutting to not take place, or a fault in the sample taking.
I am an AP Biology student right now in Wisconsin. I just finished that worksheet this morning :) anymore questions just hit me up
Answer: True
Explanation:
The dual energy x-ray absorptimetry is a technique that is used for measuring the bone mineral density. This technique utilizes the two X-ray beams with different levels of energy. The soft tissues are subtracted in this procedure and the beam is absorbed by the bone. This technique is useful for diagnosis of osteoporosis, to check and diagnose the infected, fractured and healing bones.
Fluid retention is a condition in which excess fluid due to capillary leakage or any other reason fills up inside the circulatory system, body tissues and cavities. The following symptoms will appear:
Discolored skin, aches and tenderness in the limbs, stiffness in joints and weight gain.
The retained excess fluid may react with the X-ray beam hence, will interfere in the process of diagnosis. Thus caution should be taken for such individuals.
Answer is B.
Overfishing would lead to a bottleneck effect, as large numbers of fish are removed from a fish population. Population size has a major effect on the amount of genetic diversity. The greater the population, the greater genetic diversity. Due to overfishing, the population would become smaller, which would reduce genetic diversity. So the answer is B.
