During electrophoresis, DNA fragments move toward the anode. What does this

Biology
1 answer:
son4ous [18]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

During electrophoresis, DNA fragments move toward the anode, which indicates that it has a negative charge.

Explanation:

The electrophoresis or gel electrophoresis of DNA, is a procedure that allows the separation of DNA fragments, according to their size. The presence of phosphate groups -present in the strands- gives the DNA the negative charge that induces it to move towards the anode during electrophoresis.

Each DNA fragment has a specific size and charge, and electrophoresis the fragments of equal size or charge are grouped in the same place in the gel.

The other options do not apply because:

<em>    A. It is very small and C. It has a positive charge. D. It has a high molecular weight. The size of the DNA fragment does not influence its electrophoretic behavior.</em>

<em>    B. It has a positive charge.  DNA is negatively charged, due to the presence of phosphate groups in the molecule.</em>

How are energy inputs and outputs related to chemical reactions
GREYUIT [131]

The large number of areas covered by the chemical energetics can be explained by the different forms in which chemical energy can be released: heat and combustion work, electrical energy in electrochemistry, radiant energy in chemiluminescent systems.

The chemical energy provided by a reaction reflects the energy balance associated with the electronic modifications suffered by the species involved.

From an energy point of view, a chemical reaction between molecules can be schematized in two stages. The first requires a supply of energy and corresponds to the rupture of the bonds of the reactant molecules with release of the atoms which constitute them.

The second releases energy and concerns the creation, by recombination of these atoms, of new bonds entering the structure of the reaction molecules.

As a general rule, the energy released in the second stage is greater than the first. We are talking about exothermic reaction. The difference between these two energies (reaction enthalpy) measures the amount of chemical energy transferred to the external environment.

It is conceivable that this quantity translates, not only the number, but also the strength of the connections involved.
