Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

DNA fragments have negative charge and they move towards the positively charged electrode in  gel electrophoresis.

There is no difference in the charge carried by the DNA fragments as they all have the equal amount of charge on them.

The difference in speed of large and small molecules of DNA is due to their sizes.

Large DNA molecules do not pass easily through the pores of the gel while the smaller molecules  do not face any such hindrance and are easily passed through the gel . Therefore small DNA molecules move faster.

F plasmid has the largest size and hence it will move slowly.

Option C is correct

Which function does mitosis have serve for a cell?
Aneli [31]

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Option C, To study ecology, we must separate living organisms from their environment

Explanation:

Environmental interaction between living organisms and the environment involves all the biological process such as nutrient cycle, ecosystems, food chains and food web, energy pyramids and relationship, response of an organism towards the changing environmental conditions, evolution, connection with all physical things etc.  

In an ecosystem, the impact (both negative and positive) of both the living organism and environment is studied on each other by understanding their relationship for which presence of both of them is essential.

Hence, option C is correct
