Biology
1 answer:
Sergio039 [100]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Contamination of a sample

Explanation:

Gel electrophoresis is  a method used in molecular biology for DNA analysis. This method includes the separation of DNA fragments through the gel according to their size or shape.

One of the major source of error is contamination of the DNA sample. This refers to the presence of foreign DNA in the sample of interest. As a consequence, the gel will have more bands.

Another errors might appear as a result of wrong concentration of the gel, wrong buffer pH, high/low concentration of dye etc.

Question 10 miguel's doctor has recommended that he consume less saturated fat. at his favorite fast-food restaurant, miguel cho
Ilya [14]
This is in accordance to the number of calories each gram of macronutrient has. 1 gram of carbohydrates contains 4 calories; 1 gram of protein contains 4 calories; and 1 gram of fat contains 9 calories; (nice to know: 1 gram of alcohol contains 7 calories). In this case, the sandwich contains 460 wherein there is 6 grams of saturated fat. This 6 grams of saturated fat is equal to 54 calories. Converting that into percentage: (54 calories of fat)/(460 total calories) x 100 = 11.74% or roughly 12% of calories are from saturated fat.

Construct an argumentative paragraph. Do you believe it's ethical or unethical to artificially select traits in plants and or an
blondinia [14]

Answer:

The ethics of artificially inserting traits in animals has been in the practice for years in the form of selective breeding, but should scientists really be editing DNA to the extent they are today? I don't believe they should. Life itself should construct itself without us interfering. Making a brand new plant just because it looks nice doesn't account for many factors, including the fact that it could be harmful to nearby plants if pollinated. In addition, generic engineering costs quite a lot of money, which should be used on other more cost effective methods, such as improving agriculture rather than creating a whole new plant that could harm entire crops. Genetic engineering isn't a necessity and humans should not play God with plant and animal life.
