Answer:

EtBr inserts between the stacked bases in the DNA double helix.

Explanation:

  • EtBr is used for visualizing DNA bands as it fluoresces under the UV illumination.
  • EtBr is an aromatic compound that is capable of inserting itself between the stacked bases of the DNA double helix.
  • The hydrophobic environment around the base pairs where the EtBr intercalates is responsible for the fluorescence. As the EtBr molecule intercalates between these base pairs the cation of EtBr sheds the water molecules associated with it and this causes it to fluoresce under UV light as water is a quencher of fluorescence.

Fossil fuels have been used for years as a source
VMariaS [17]


The best answer is (1)

Fossil fuels are commercially available as an energy source.

They are very easy to find. More and more extractions of fossil fuels is going on everyday. With advancement in science and  technology, the refineries and extraction procedures have improved a lot. This makes their availability even better.

Fossil fuels are also easily combustible. Most combustion engines need to be powered with little amount of fuel to produce large amount of energy. Very large amounts of electricity can be  generated  from fossil fuels.

She greases the rock and lays the bacon strips directly on it." By heating the rocks in the campfire and laying the bacon on the rocks, the girls transferred the heat from the fire to the rocks, and the heat from the rocks to cook the bacon.</span>
