Answer:

DNA is made up of sugar-phosphate backbone and the phosphate in the DNA contains the negative charge, therefore, DNA is a negatively charged molecule present in the nucleus.

This negative charge is very important in separating the DNA according to their charge and size during gel electrophoresis. During gel electrophoresis DNA of different size is run on an agarose gel in the presence of current and DNA fragments move toward positive charge due to negative in nature.  

Small size DNA moves fast through the gel large size DNA moves slow towards negative pole, therefore, separating the DNA according to their size. In gel electrophoresis, red pole is positive pole and the black pole is negative so runs to the red phrase is signifying that the DNA is always run towards the red pole.

The human ABO blood groups provide a good example of codominace. The ABO system is due to a gene that codes for molecules on the surface of red blood cells

An important challenge to traditional (pre-1860) ideas about species was the observation that seemingly dissimilar organisms suc
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Dissimilar organisms might have evolved from a distant, common ancestor.

Explanation:

First of all we should know species. Species is considered as a basic unit of taxonomic classification of an organism.

Initially, the scientists are agreed on this phenomenon that all distinct species are evolved gradually from common ancestor. Today, the species which are different from each other just like hummingbirds, humans and whales are from the same ancestor but with the time passage genetic mutation occurs and at the end dissimilar organisms we can see in our environment/surroundings.
