During electrophoresis, DNA molecules can easily be separated according to size because all DNA molecules have the same charge–m

ass ratio and the same shape (long rod). Would you expect RNA molecules to behave in the same manner as DNA during electrophoresis? Why or why not? Klug, William S.. Essentials of Genetics (p. 181). Pearson Education. Kindle Edition.

Answer:

To separate DNA using agarose gel electrophoresis, the DNA is loaded into pre-cast wells in the gel and a current applied.

Explanation:

The phosphate backbone of the DNA (and RNA) molecule is negatively charged, therefore when placed in an electric field, DNA fragments will migrate to the positively charged anode.

Name two structural and two functional properties of proteins
Inga [223]
1.Proteins are linear polymers built of monomer units called amino acids. The construction of a vast array of macromolecules from a limited number of monomer building blocks is a recurring theme in biochemistry. Does protein function depend on the linear sequence of amino acids? The function of a protein is directly dependent on its threedimensional structure.<span>Remarkably, proteins spontaneously fold up into three-dimensional structures that are determined by the sequence of amino acids in the protein polymer. Thus, </span>proteins are the embodiment of the transition from the one-dimensional world of sequences to the three-dimensional world of molecules capable of diverse activities<span>.

</span>2.Proteins contain a wide range of functional groups<span>. These functional groups include alcohols, thiols, thioethers, carboxylic acids, carboxamides, and a variety of basic groups. When combined in various sequences, this array of functional groups accounts for the broad spectrum of protein function. For instance, the chemical reactivity associated with these groups is essential to the function of </span>enzymes,<span> the proteins that catalyze specific chemical reactions in biological systems</span><span>

Where is dna found inside of a cell
tino4ka555 [31]

Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA). Mitochondria are structures within cells that convert the energy from food into a form that cells can use.

Which is the role of restriction enzymes?
Lynna [10]
“a restriction enzyme is an enzyme that cuts DNA after recognizing a specific sequence of DNA. You can think of restriction enzymes as molecular scissors. Scientists can use restriction enzymes to cut a single gene from a larger piece of DNA. ...They evolved in bacteria” (study.com)

so, they are used to cut DNA into smaller pieces(:
