Gel electrophoresis is a method of genetic analysis which involves seperating segments of DNA based on their size and charge.
It involves cutting DNA with various enzymes, then placing the DNA in an agarose gel. An electrical current is then run through the gel. Because DNA is a polar molecule the DNA segments will travel through the agarose cell as the current is applied. Larger fragments will travel shorter distances than shorter fragments. Two plates with 2 different DNA samples will be conducted and the orientation of the DNA strands will be used to make an analysis by comparing the 2 plates.
Question 1: The correct answer should be the one that shows the producer first, (->) followed by the herbivore, (->) with the carnivore last.
Producers are organisms that harvest their own 'food' using things like the sunlight and water. Examples of producers are grass and other vegetation.

The herbivore, or an organism that consumes only vegetation and/or algae, consumes the producer.

⇒

The carnivore consumes meat, or other animals such as the herbivore. It's the last.

⇒

⇒

Therefore the answer is
B.

Question 2: I'm pretty sure that succession as well as regrowth after volcanic eruption (Just look at Mount St. Helens. After 30-35 years after the eruption, nature is
still recovering) happens over time/slowly. I would say global warming [C](?) would be the answer.
Answer:
this is not a question it is a statement
Explanation:
Complete Question:
The carrying capacity of the environment for a species is determined by:
options:
(a) the reproductive rate of the organism.
(b) the number of organisms of that species.
(c) the state and national wildlife laws pertaining to that species.
(d) the age distribution of that species.
(e) the limited availability of renewable resources in the environment and the environmental resistance to the biotic potential of the organism.
Answer: (e) the limited availability of renewable resources in the environment and the environmental resistance to the biotic potential of the organism.
Explanation: The carrying capacity refers to the highest number of the species that the environment can cater for, in terms of food, space and other necessities that supports life.
Thus, the available of renewable resources (i.e resources that can be reused after consumption e.g water) in the environment, plays as a determinant of the highest number of individuals an environment can support (carrying capacity).
Furthermore, environmental resistance to the biotic potential of the organism, is also a determinant of the carrying capacity of organisms inhabiting that particular environment.
