Answer:

a. separate  

Explanation:

DNA fragments are formed with the action of restriction enzymes having different sizes. The most widely used technique for separating DNA fragments is electrophoresis through agarose gels.

Agarose is a polysaccharide (such as agar and pectin) that dissolves in boiling water and then gels when it cools down like gelatin. To perform an electrophoresis, an agarose gel is prepared, DNA is introduced into small gel wells, and then an electric current is applied through the gel. Because DNA is negatively charged, it is attracted to the positive electrode. However, to reach the positive electrode, DNA must migrate through the agarose gel.

Smaller DNA fragments can migrate through an agarose gel faster than larger DNA fragments. The migration rate of linear DNA fragments through agarose is inversely proportional to log10 of their molecular weights.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. helps process explicit memories for storage.

Explanation:

The hippocampus is an structure of the brain and is located inside the temporal lobe. The main function of the hippocampus is to mediate the generation and recovery of memories in conjunction with many areas spread across the cortex and with other areas of the limbic system. It helps to process and recover the episodic memory (those related to events) and spatial memory (mode in which we perceive space or dimensions). This organ is also where short-term memories become long-term memories, that is, it acts as a mediator of memories, acting as an activation node that allows different memories distributed across different parts of the brain to be activated.
