Answer:

Deep scattering layer, DSL

Explanation:

The deep scattering layer (DSL) also known as "<em>deep sound layer</em>", refers to an oceanic deep layer, more or less defined, that reflects sound and that is formed by a wide variety of animals. It is present in almost every ocean. It is produced by the presence of many organisms of different species that can disperse the sonar waves sent by a sonar equipment.

It was discovered through the ships´ sonar. Whenever they met a layer in which the sound hit, and was often confused with the bottom of the ocean. This is why the DSL is refered to as the "fake bottom".

These animals form layers of not less than 10 meters thick and might easily reach up to 50 meters thick. These layers are often found between 50 and 200 meters deep and can be seen going up and down every day according to the daily vertical migration.

A different DNA ladder from NEB (Cat #N3200L) comes as 500 uL of a 1000 ug/mL solution and is not pre-mixed with the 6 X DNA loa
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

4 ul Loading Buffer + 19.70 ul dH2O + 0.30 ul DNA Ladder

Load 12 ul on the gel.

Explanation:

DNA Ladder concentration = 1000 ug/ml

1000 ug DNA in 1 ml DNA Ladder solution →    150 ng DNA = 0.15 ug DNA in..... 0.00015 ml = 0.15 ul DNA Ladder solution

6x DNA Loading Buffer → it has to be diluted by an equal volume 6 times (1 ul LB + 1 ul distilled H2O)

An appropriate volume to load on an average agarose gel is 12 ul, so:

2 ul Loading Buffer + 9.85 ul dH2O + 0.15 ul DNA Ladder = 12 ul

But since 0.15 ul is a very small volume and mistakes could be made while measuring it, let's make double:

4 ul Loading Buffer + 19.70 ul dH2O + 0.30 ul DNA Ladder = 24 ul

And load half of that solution (12 ul) on the gel.

Examine the weather map. The arrows are pointing to the line with triangles. What does the line indicated by the arrows most lik
kvasek [131]

The correct answer is - a front.

On this image, the lines are representing a front, and since the signs are marked with blue color, it means that it is a cold front. The fronts are advancing masses of air. In this case, we have a cold front, thus we have advancing cold air masses in the western part of the US, and in the Great Lakes region and the northeastern part of the country. This means that these areas will be affected by colder air masses, that will bring in higher air pressure, colder weather, and cold winds from the direction from which these cold fronts are coming.
