How does the process of gel electrophoresis separate DNA fragments?

DNA is negatively charged due to its phosphate groups. Gel electrophoresis has one side that is positive and other that is negative. Once dna fragments are placed inside. The bigger fragments will move towards the positive side since positive is attracted to negative.

Answer:

For the separation of DNA fragments we use gel electrophoresis.

Explanation:

Since DNA fragments are negatively charged molecules they can be separated by forcing them to move towards the positive electrode anode under an electric field through a medium or matrix. The most common matrix is agarose. The DNA fragments separate according to their size through sieving effect provided by the agarose gel. Hence, the smaller the fragment size, the farther it moves. The separated DNA fragments can be visualized only after staining the DNA with a compound known as ethidium bromide followed by exposure to UV radiations. You can see the bright orange colored bands of DNA in a ethidium bromide stained gel exposed to UV light.

After reading the paragraph below, answer the question that follows
Neko [114]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. "The protein would become denatured due to the acidic environment".

Explanation:

Under acidic conditions the ionizable groups of the amino acids of the proteins are ionized due to the high protons content. This condition cause that protein lost its native structure and become unfolded and denatured. The acidic environment of the stomach will have this effect on the gram of proteins that have the Yummie cake, becoming denatured once it passes through the stomach.

Paladinen [302]
<h2>Problem of protein alters the movement of Ions </h2>

Explanation:

  • Proteins are tiny machines that do explicit occupations inside a cell. The directions for building every protein are encoded in DNA. Proteins are gathered from building squares called amino acids.  
  • The CFTR protein is comprised of 1,480 amino acids. When the CFTR protein chain is made, it is collapsed into a particular 3-D shape. The CFTR protein is formed like a cylinder that experiences the film encompassing the cell, similar to a straw experience the plastic top on a cup.
  • In individuals with CF, changes in the CFTR quality can cause the accompanying issues with the CFTR protein:  
  • It doesn't function admirably  
  • It isn't delivered in adequate amounts  
  • It isn't delivered in any way  
  • At the point when any of these issues happen, the chloride particles are caught inside the cell, and water is never again pulled in to the space outside the cell. When there is less water outside the cells, the bodily fluid in the aviation routes gets got dried out and thickens, making it smooth the cilia. The cilia can't clear appropriately when thick, clingy bodily fluid overloads them.
