Why does DNA flow toward the positive electrode of the gel chamber?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

DNA molecules have negative charges, and so when placed in an electric field they migrate toward the positive pole.

Explanation:

Electrophoresis is a technique that <u>uses differences in electrical charge to separate the molecules in a mixture</u>. DNA molecules have negative charges, and so when placed in an electric field they migrate toward the positive pole. The rate of migration of a molecule depends on two factors, its shape, and its charge-to-mass ratio.

A gel, which is usually made of agarose, polyacrylamide, or a mixture of the two comprises a complex network of pores, through which the DNA molecules must travel to reach the positive electrode. The smaller the DNA molecule, the faster it can migrate through the gel. Gel electrophoresis, therefore, <u>separates DNA molecules according to their size.</u>

Describe four human activities that have negative effects on earth's ecosystems. how do human activities increase the occurrence
vova2212 [387]
There are a lot of human activities that gives negative effects on the earth's ecosystem but I will mention only four: Burning of things such as garbages or plants and trees, dumping of garbages anywhere, chemical substance that are being made and produced, cutting down of trees for replacement of buildings and homes. The human activities increase the occurrence of species extinction by doing this, it eliminates and destroy the homes of the species that are supposed to be living on their natural habitat. But instead of them, living peacefully, by doing these activities, their home will be destroyed that can kill them-- which can lead to extinction.

A 40-year-old man reports to his health care provider complaining of "heartburn" that occurs after eating and also wakens him at
Serhud [2]

Answer:

Gastro-esophageal reflux disease is a disease in which the upset stomach causes re-flux of acid back to esophagus. This may produce highly uncomfortable feeling of chest burn that may last even for two hours. GERD can get worse after eating because more volume of acids are released by stomach on detection of food like fast food and food that have high protein content. Patients are recommended to lose weight because that loses the pressure on abdomen a decreases the chance of GERD. Head elevation is also recommended to keep the acid within the stomach. It is same in while sitting upright after eating is recommended by doctors. GERD symptoms may have some respiratory complications like lung inflammation and chest congestion due to the action of stomach acid. This may lead to asthama.
