Gel electrophoresis is normally set up with the negative electrode at the top of the gel and the positive electrode at the botto

m of the gel. The DNA products are loaded at the top of the gel, and then a current is applied to separate them. However, when preparing to run a gel, you accidentally switched the locations of the negative and positive electrodes such that the positive electrode is at the top and the negative electrode is at the bottom. You still loaded the DNA products at the top of the gel as normal. What result are you most likely to observe if you apply an electric current to this gel setup?
A) Shorter DNA molecules will move up the gel, and longer DNA molecules will move down the gel.
B) All DNA molecules will migrate up the gel toward the positive electrode.
C) Longer DNA molecules will move up the gel, and shorter DNA molecules will move down the gel.
D) All DNA molecules will migrate down the gel toward the negative electrode.

Answer:

B) All DNA molecules will migrate up the gel toward the positive electrode.

Explanation:

Because the DNA has a negative charge - regardless the size-, all DNA molecules will migrate towards the positive electrode, at the top of the gel. This is due to the Coulomb's physic law  "force of the interaction between the charges is attractive if the charges have opposite signs".

Instead of migrate down the gel , the DNA will do migrate up the gel (opposite direction).

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer: There is presence of tumor.

Explanation: The adhesion of cells to extracellular matrix (EMC) through integrins ( cell-EMC binding molecules, which are collagens, laminins and fibronectin) causes the activation of kinases in the cytoplasm.

However, kinanes helps in controlling the epithelial cell differentiation and upholding the epithelial tissues. This is done by the addition of phosphate groups to a substrate protein which is termed Protein phosporylation. Then, the kinases direct the affairs of the cell and it's activities. For example, it determines the cell division, anabolic and catabolic activities of the cell, movement of ions between the cell and it's environment (signal transduction), protein functions and etc.

Conclusively, since the activities of the cell like cell division and protein functions is dictated by the kinase, reduction in cell division that gave rise to rapid growth is put on hold. Hence, the tumor is been suppressed.

Note: the binding of cell-EMC is regulated by Transforming Growth Factor (TGF) β.

Ket [755]

The extinct ancient human Homo erectus is a species of firsts. It was the first of our relatives to have human-like body proportions, with shorter arms and longer legs relative to its torso.

<h3>What are Homo erectus?</h3>

Homo erectus, an extinct species of Pleistocene archaic human, first appeared about 2 million years ago. Several human species, including H. heidelbergensis and H. antecessor, seem to have diverged from H. erectus, with the former being largely accepted as the ancestor of Neanderthals, Denisovans, and modern humans. Among the first recognizable representatives of the genus Homo are its specimens. The first known ancestor of modern humans, H. erectus, had a continental range that stretched from the Iberian Peninsula to Java. H. floresiensis and possibly H. luzonensis may have its origins in Asian populations of Homo erectus. H. erectus soloensis, from Java, dates to a time period between 117,000 and 108,000 years ago.

Describe a virus and how it's different from a cell?
lana [24]

Answer:  how a virus differs from a cell...

It doesn’t contain any kind of cytoplasm, cell wall, cell membrane, ribosome or mitochondrion.

It doesn’t have any sort of metabolic enzyme of its own. So, no nutrition system is seen.

It can’t reproduce itself, without any help of the host living cell.

It can be crystallized, centrifuged or diffused.

It doesn’t have any sort of somatic development.

Chemically, its just a fusion of protein and nucleic acid. So, this characters differ a Virus from a living cell.
