DNA fragments make the lines on an electrophoresis gel.

Fragments of DNA from each sample are placed each placed in a different well/slot.

A current is then run through the gel. The DNA migrates through the gel towards the positively charged side because DNA fragments are negatively charged.

The smaller fragments travel farther because they travel through the gel more easily (as seen in the picture from Encyclopedia Britannica).

Fragments of the same size group together at different areas of the gel making those lines.

1. Increased efforts to conserve areas such as rain forests are necessary in order to
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

1. Protect biodiversity

2. An indicator species

3. Biomagnification

4. Cutting down all the trees for lumber

5. Bioaccumulation

Explanation:

1. Conserving areas such as rain forests protect biodiversity because rain forests hold one of the highest biodiversity. They carry different types of resources that support different forms of life and at the same time, the organisms that live there support each other as well.

2. An indicator species is an organism that scientists can observe to see if there are changes in the environment it lives in. They judge the change or the implications based on the absence of the species in the environment (in which they used to be present), the presence of the species, and markers of adaptation due to the change in the ecosystem.

3. Biomagnification is a term used when contaminants that were consumed by the organisms in the lower trophic level are passed on to the next trophic level in higher concentrations. This is why those in the highest trophic levels are affected the most because they get the higher concentration of contaminants. DDT was banned when this phenomena was observed.

4. The greatest decrease in rain forest stability would be due to the cutting of trees. We can disrupt stability by gathering resources like nuts from some trees or when you remove one species of plant for medicine. However, the trees are an essential part of the rain forest because each part or area of the tree support different organisms. By cutting the whole trees off and several of them, you doom the organisms that rely on them as well.

5. As mentioned above, bioaccumulation is often interchanged with biomagnification but they differ in the usage of the terms. Like biomagnification, it talks about the accumulation of contaminants in organisms that ingest or absorb them. But bioaccumulation is a term used in a smaller scale, where it talks about the accumulation of the contimants in the tissues of the organism and not how they are passed on.

pav-90 [236]

Answer: <u>Option C, stay on the top of the snow </u>

Explanation: Animals have physical features which help them survive in their habitats, protect them from predators and even face adverse weather conditions. Some adaptations are according to the easy movement of the animals. For example- snowshoe rabbits have bigger feet so that they can jump on the top of the snow without digging into it.
