How does gel electrophoresis help determine relatedness in a species?

Biology

Jlenok [28]3 years ago

Gel electrophoresis is used in a device that compares the DNA of organisms to each other.

When gel electrophoresis is used, bands of DNA are pulled to polar ends, creating a line of bands of DNA varying in thickness. Some bands may attract more than others which then makes this line of DNA bands. This occurs with several samples of DNA used in a device with gel electrophoresis. The lines of bands that are the most similar are the ones that are the most related to each other. If the line of bands is identical to another line of bands, it is the same organism.

How do you think the rock layers and fossils found in Red Rock Canyon can provide evidence for Earth's geologic history?
Bogdan [553]

Answer and Explanation:

Red Rock Canyon is an area of universal geologic interest, located a few miles west of Las Vegas within the Mojave Desert. Many experienced geologists visit the Red Rock; they are surprised by the vivid colors of rocks, natural beauty, and rock formations. A visual display takes million years to make the masterpiece known as the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation area. About 500 million years ago, Red Rock Canyon was found at the bottom of an ocean basin. Limestone accumulated in this ocean basin, which contains the fossils of sea life. The tracks of two-footed meat-eating dinosaurs have been found in the Aztec Sandstone. The tracks of small animals such as spiders, scorpions, early mammals, and proto-mammals were also found. The fossils and rock layers that are found in Red Rock Canyon provide evidence for Earth’s geologic history.  Paleontologists are still searching these areas.

Which of the following pairs of protists and their ecological roles are correctly matched?
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The correct pair is A: "apicomplexans—parasites of animals"

Explanation:

  • Euglenophyta is a group of unicellular, eukaryotic organisms. They are small, free-living forms, or parasites that present different feeding mechanisms and behaviors, such as heterotrophy, autotrophy, or mixotrophy.
  • Dinoflagellates are unicellular, flagellated, free-living protists that might form colonies. Most of them are autotrophic organisms but some of them are heterotrophic, or mixotrophic. In these last cases, dinoflagellates can feed on other dinoflagellates, protozoans, or diatoms. They can also be parasites.
  • Entamoebas are endoparasitic organisms with no mitochondria as an adaptation of living in environments with low oxygen concentration.
  • Apicomplexa is a unicellular, protist group. They have medical and economic importance as they are<u> animals</u> and human parasites. They have an apical complex that helps them to fixate to the host cell and release a substance that provokes an invagination in the host membrane. This invagination allows the parasite to get into the host cell.
