A student decided to investigate the relation of height to resting heart rate. The student determined the resting heart rate of
frez [133]
Air temperature: When temperatures (and the humidity) soar, the heart pumps a little more blood, so your pulse rate may increase, but usually no more than five to 10 beats a minute.<span>Body position: Resting, sitting or standing, your pulse is usually the same. Sometimes as you stand for the first 15 to 20 seconds, your pulse may go up a little bit, but after a couple of minutes it should settle down. Emotions: If you’re stressed, anxious or “extraordinarily happy or sad” your emotions can raise your pulse. </span><span>Body size: Body size usually doesn’t change pulse. If you’re very obese, you might see a higher resting pulse than normal, but usually not more than 100. </span><span>Medication use: Meds that block your adrenaline (beta blockers) tend to slow your pulse, while too much thyroid medication or too high of a dosage will raise it.

Svetach [21]

Answer:

Restriction enzyme

Explanation:

  • Gel electrophoresis is a process or a technique in which fragments of DNA  are separated in terms of their sizes.
  • <em><u>The restriction enzyme is mixed with a DNA sample before the process. The restriction enzyme cut DNA at specific points into fragments which can then be separated based on their sizes on an agarose gel.</u></em>
  • When current is applied to the gel DNA move towards the positively charged electrode since DNA is negatively charged, with shorter fragments migrating faster through the gel in comparison with large fragments.
