Answer:
Smaller the size of the DNA fragment, farther it moves during electrophoresis. The sketch of the position of the fragments has been drawn in the figure below.
Explanation:
As we know DNA is a negatively charged molecule. So during electrophoresis the fragments move towards the positive electrode because opposite charges attract each other.
Different fragment move different distances according to their size during the electrophoresis. Smallest segment travels the largest distance in the gel medium while the largest one travels least distance.
In the question there are four DNA fragments with base pairs 4000, 2500, 2000 and 400 so the smallest segment with 400bp will be farthest from the starting point and the largest fragment with 4000bp will travel least distance in the gel medium. Their respective positions are shown in the figure below. The starting point is near the negative electrode.
Answer:
The water will flow from the inside of the cell to the fluid outside the cell. This means that the solution would be <u>hypertonic</u>.
It will happen to the tubes that have a higher concentration of solutes in the fluid outside cells than inside the cells.
Explanation:
When a cell is in a hypotonic solution, it means that the concentration of solute in the solution is higher than the one in the cell. As a natural reaction, the cell tries to balance this difference. To do this, the water that is inside the cell flows to the outside. As a result, the concentration between the inside and the outside of the cell becomes equal or more equitable. Besides, the cell shrinks due to the loss of water.
The answer would be glucose.
Mitosis results in the formation of two daughter cells. Mitosis can occur wherever more cells are needed. It produces two new cells that are identical to each other, and to the parent cell. The process of growth and division is called the cell cycle.
