I believe it is gel electrophoresis. 
Gel electrophoresis is a techniwue used to separate DNA fragments or other macromolecules such as RNA and proteins based on their size and charge. It can also determine the actual size of a piece of DNA by examining it next to a standard "yardstick" made up of DNA fragments of known sizes.

Answer: Gel Electrophoresis.

Explanation: Gel Electrophoresis is a laboratory technique by which DNA fragments of different sizes can be sorted according to the molecular sizes.

The fragments of the different sizes of DNA move by the effect of the electrical field through a gel that contains small pores.

This gel contains a DNA ladder that has different base pairs indicated on it which is used to determine the size of the DNA fragments.

What determines the shape of a snow crystal?
anzhelika [568]
A snow crystal appears when water vapor in the air converts directly into ice without first becoming liquid water. ... The exact shape of the final snow crystal is determined by the precise path it took through the clouds. But the six arms all took the same path, and so each experienced the same changes at the same times.

A mutation in _____ results in a change in _____ that sometimes produces a(n) _____ with altered structure and function.
xenn [34]

Answer:

A mutation in <u>DNA </u>results in a change in <u>RNA </u>that sometimes produces a <u>protein </u>with altered structure and function.

Explanation:

DNA is the hereditary material which causes gene expression in our body by producing protein. The type of protein which is produced by DNA totally depends upon the sequence of nucleotides in the DNA. But, DNA molecule does not produce protein directly. Initially it produces RNA (mRNA, tRNA, rRNA) by the process of transcription, the nucleotides in the RNA are complimentary to those in DNA. In short, the message regarding the structure and composition of the type protein to be produced by DNA is first decoded from DNA in the form of RNA. These RNA molecules then synthesize the protein as per the instructions from DNA by the process of translation.

But, in case a mutation occurs in the DNA which causes a change in it's nucleotide/nucleotides, the protein which will be produced will be different in the structure and function than the protein which was supposed to be synthesized. It happens because, a triplet of nucletiodes in the DNA and hence RNA specifies a particular type of amino acid and several amino acids are joined in a long chain to form polypeptide which ultimately forms protein. But, if any nucleotide in the triplet is changed due to mutation it may change the amino acid and if amino acid will change the protein will also get altered.
