Answer: true

Explanation: In gel electrophoresis, the smaller the size/molecular weight of DNA the faster it moves across the gel and vise versa. This is as a result of the pore size of the gel which is usually prepared 1g of agarose in 100ml of distilled water. So a DNA fragment with 1000 base pairs will "struggle" its movement across the gel pore making it mive less faster and further. Movement and molecular weight of DNA are inversely proportional.

How do global winds affect climate?
Vlad1618 [11]
These global wind systems, in turn, drive the oceans' surface currents. Unequal heating of the Earth's surface also forms large global wind patterns. In area near the equator, the sun is almost directly overhead for most of the year. Warm air rises at the equator and moves toward the poles ((from google))

In the guppie simulation, what happens to the brightest guppies when there are large numbers of predators?
jonny [76]
In the simulation, the brightness of the guppies is directly related to how fast they are consumed by predators. This phenomenon is explained simply and reflects natural selection. The brighter guppies are at a selective disadvantage due to the ease with which predators are able to spot them. The darker colored guppies are able to avoid predator better so they live fore a longer time.
