Gel Electrophoresis is a way to sort and measure the DNA strands. Scientists use the technique whenever they need to sort DNA strands according to lengths, this is because it helps them determine patterns, banding patterns create unique fingerprint for a certain individual. During the process the shorter strands move faster because they have less mass compared to the longer strand. Therefore, the short strands end up farther away from the starting point than the longer strands, which is how the different in lengths sort themselves out.

List and explain nonspecific immune defenses in plants found in a chaparral
garik1379 [7]

Plants’ nonspecific immune responses includes cell-surface receptors (pattern recognition proteins) which allow them to identify certain patterns characteristic for pathogens.  Activated receptors trigger the production of chemical signals that may initiate both local and systemic defense responses. Sometimes when a plant is affected by infection, it triggers rapid localized programmed cell death to stop the infection further.  When it comes to defense form the herbivores, plants have physical barriers (plant cell walls and their extensions), some antibiotic compounds (phytoalexins), and even enzymes that can defend them.
