The concentration of agarose gel affects the resolution of DNA separation. For a standard agarose gel electrophoresis, a 0.8% gi

ves good separation or resolution of large 5–10kb DNA fragments, while 2% gel gives good resolution for small 0.2-1kb fragments. 1% gels is often used for a standard electrophoresis. If you have very similar sized DNA molecules that are running too close together on an agarose gel, what solution would you apply to resolve this issue?

Answer:

Use a higher % agarose gel.

Explanation:

Agarose gels have a porous matrix. The higher the concentration of agarose, the smaller the pores, so larger DNA molecules will have more difficulty moving through the gel and they will run slower than small DNA molecules.

The higher % agarose gel has thus a better resolving power (the measurable interval between two entities -the DNA bands- is smaller). For that reason, a 2% agarose gel will allow you to differentiate better between two bands of close molecular weight, if you let the DNA fragments run long enough.

If a hemoglobin molecule comes into close contact with a respiring cell, the presence of CO2 in the environment will cause hemog
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

No, when the concentration of carbon dioxide is high, such as in peripheral tissues, CO2 binds to hemoglobin and the affinity for O2 decreases, causing it to release.

Explanation:

The O2 molecule is reversibly combined with the heme portion of the hemoglobin. When the partial pressure of O2 is high, as in the case of pulmonary capillaries, for example, the binding of O2 to hemoglobin and the release of carbon dioxide are favored, this is known as the Haldane effect. If, on the contrary, when the concentration of carbon dioxide is high, such as in peripheral tissues, CO2 is bound to hemoglobin and the affinity for O2 decreases, causing it to release, this is known as the effect Bohr.

Explain what happens to animal cells if they are put in fresh water
neonofarm [45]
They will actually explode or burst

So What happens is the pure water outside has a high water potential while the cytoplasm inside the animal cell is a low water potential, water will diffuse down a water potential gradient through the semi-permeable membrane of the animal cell and cause the cell to swell (inflate like a fully-blown balloon), the result is that the delicate, elastic cell membrane<span> can't tolerate the internal pressure coming from the cytoplasm so it tears causing the cell to burst.</span><span>

How does the mantle affect Earth's crust?
faltersainse [42]
Earth's mantle plays an important role in the evolution of the crust and provides the thermal and mechanical driving forces for plate tectonics. Heat liberated by the core is transferred into the mantle where most of it (> 90%) is convected through the mantle to the base of the lithosphere.

What is the purpose of scientific argumentation?
RUDIKE [14]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Evaluate the validity and reliability of processes and findings.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>Scientific argumentation is a stage of scientific inquiry in which scientists make claims, based on observable evidence, and then clarify with justification of the evidence as relevant to the claims.</u></em>
  • <em><u>It is therefore, an important part of scientific inquiry as it aims evaluate the validity and reliability of processes and findings. Scientific claims from an investigation should be based on evidence that is justified based on the claims.</u></em>
