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.

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

a. to treat a disease characterized by a gene that is not expressed.

Explanation:

The RNA interference (RNAi) technique is widely used in molecular biology to inhibit target gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. The RNAi technology uses small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) consisting of 18-22 nucleotides that bind to complementary acid nucleics (i.e., DNA and RNA), thereby inhibiting target gene expression. Recently, it has interestingly been discovered that small RNA sequences targeting promoter regions can also be used to activate the expression of endogenous target genes through a mechanism called RNA activation (RNAa).

Cardiac Output. Cardiac Output (CO) is the amount of blood pumped by the heart per unit of time and it depends on 2 important variables like below, Stroke Volume (SV) = the amount of blood ejected per beat of the heart (Normally, 70 ml/beat). Heart rate (HR) = heart beats per minute (normally, 70 beats/min).
