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).

What is the difference between a bony fish and a cartilaginous fish?
blondinia [14]
Bony fish belong to Class Osteichthyes, while cartilaginous fish belong to Class Chondrichthyes. Bony fish have a bony skeleton, while cartilaginous fish have one composed mostly of cartilage. Bony fish have body coverings of scales, while cartilaginous fish are covered with dendritical projections (think shark skin).
Bony fish are found in fresh and salt water; cartilaginous fish are found only in salt water. Bony fish have gills covered by an operculum; cartilaginous fish have gill slits. Bony have no eyelids; the cartilaginous fish do. Bony fish have an air-filled swim bladder; cartilaginous fish have an oil-filled liver to keep them bouyant. Hope this helps! Whew!

Which is a benefit of getting information from a government website? A. The information usually advocates an individual's opinio
nignag [31]

Answer:

B. The information will be reliable

Explanation:

By elimination:

Information on government websites is usually impartial, so A is eliminated. Additionally, information on a government website is not necessarily easy to understand, so that choice cannot be the correct answer either. The only remaining choice is B, so it is correct.
