Biochemistry is the study of the actions of the main metabolic processes of living organisms, which are protein synthesis (DNA and RNA molecules, genetic codes and how they work, enzyme formation and function, etc), glycolysis (cellular respiration, aka the Krebs cycle/citric acid cycle to break down glucose molecules to release chemical energy and oxydative phosphorylation, the use of that chemical energy to form ATP molecules in which the chemical energy is put in a form the cell can use, and lipid chemistry (the study of the pathways in which fatty acids are formed into lipids and fat molecules and cholestrol formation and function).
Essentially, biochemistry covers the chemical reactions necessary for cellular and organism metabolism

A certain restriction enzyme digest results in DNA fragments of the following sizes: 4,000 bp, 2,500 bp, 2,000 bp, and 400 bp. S
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Smaller the size of the DNA fragment, farther it moves during electrophoresis. The sketch of the position of the fragments has been drawn in the figure below.

Explanation:

As we know DNA is a negatively charged molecule. So during electrophoresis the fragments move towards the positive electrode because opposite charges attract each other.

Different fragment move different distances according to their size during the electrophoresis. Smallest segment travels the largest distance in the gel medium while the largest one travels least distance.

In the question there are four DNA fragments with base pairs 4000, 2500, 2000 and 400 so the smallest segment with 400bp will be farthest from the starting point and the largest fragment with 4000bp will travel least distance in the gel medium. Their respective positions are shown in the figure below. The starting point is near the negative electrode.

The colonial protist, volvox, gives birth to daughter colonies directly from the mother colony. This type of reproduction ......
leva [86]

Answer: Asexual reproduction

Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in which a single parent is involved to produce the offsprings. This occurs in simple organisms. This does not requires formation of gametes like sexual reproduction. The offsprings are identical to the parent organism. Here, mother colony of protists, volvox gives birth to daughter as only single parent is involved it is a asexual mode of reproduction.
