I found the exercise on the internet and these are the options:
"<span>a. gluconeogenesis begins
b. beta-oxidation increases
c. blood glucose levels fall
d. the liver produces more glycogen"

The option that's not likely to happen is "</span>the liver produces more glycogen".
The formation of glycogen by the liver happens after eating a meal with carbohydrates. The level of blood glucose increases, and insulin is secreted by the pancreas and will act by allowing glucose to enter the body cells. When the glucose enters the liver cells, insulin will also act on the liver by stimulating glycogen synthesis. This process continues to happen until glucose levels begin to decrease in the <span>post-absorptive state</span> and, therefore, insulin secretion also decreases leading glycogen synthesis in the liver to stop.

True or false: In a gel electrophoresis gel, a DNA fragment containing 100 bp (base pairs) would travel faster (and further) tha
vova2212 [387]

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.
