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.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

C. Diabetics will have ample supplies of insulin that are produced by bacteria.

Explanation:

The technology of recombinant DNA has allowed scientists to introduce the human insulin gene into E.coli bacteria. E. coli are thus turned into "biological factories" that produce large quantities of human insulin, which can be easily purified and used as medicine for diabetics.

There are many more examples of DNA recombinant technology in human medicine, such as the production of recombinant human growth hormone (hGH) also in E. coli that is injected in individuals who don't produce enough hGH naturally, or even the production of vaccines by inserting antigen-coding DNA into a cell, purifying it and later injecting it into individuals to stimulate immunization.

Cytosine makes up 42% of the nucleotides in a sample of dna from an organism. Approximately what percentage of the nucleotides i
Vikki [24]

Answer:

8%

Explanation:

DNA is a double-stranded molecule made up of nucleotides: A, T, G, and C. According to Chargaff, A + T + G + C = 100%, where Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T) while Guanine (G) pairs with Cytosine (C).

Since G pairs with C and A with T, there must be equal proportions of each nuceleotide pair i.e. A=T, G=C

If C= 42%, G is also 42%

We then have, 42 + 42 + A + T = 100

84 + A + T = 100

A + T = 100 - 84

A + T = 16%

If A and T is collectively 16% and each must contain equal proportion, therefore, A=T = 16/2 = 8%.

Hence, proportion of Adenine and Thymine in that DNA is 8%.
