<span>An electric current is running through the gel in the electrophoresis with positive pole on the bottom. So, only negatively charged particles can migrate through the gel in the electrophoresis. </span>Since DNA is negatively charged, it migrates toward the positive pole of the gel. This characteristic enables DNA to move through the gel.

How does temprature affect the respirtion rate of th goldfish
lawyer [7]

the respiration rate will increase as temperature increases. An increase in temperature will minimize the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water and increase the metabolic rate of the goldfish, thus causing the goldfish's respiration rate to increase (“Hot waters make it hard for fish to breathe”).

Why is it difficult to observe individual chromosomes with a light microscope during interphase?
asambeis [7]

Answer:

They have uncoiled to form long, thin strands.

Explanation:

Chromosomes are present in cell nucleus and consist of chromatin. Genes are present in linear order on chromosomes.  The chromosomes become visible under the microscope as distinct structures during cell division. When cells are not dividing, the chromosomes decondense to loose their individuality and make the mass of chromatin.  

Chromatin is complex of DNA and packing proteins. As the cells enter the prophase stage of cell division, condensation of chromatin occurs and individual chromosomes become visible under microscope. Before that (during interphase), chromosomes are not visible as they are present in decondensed form.
