el electrophoresis is normally set up with the negative electrode at the top of the gel and the positive electrode at the bottom

of the gel. The DNA products are loaded at the top of the gel, and then a current is applied to separate them. However, when preparing to run a gel, you accidentally switched the locations of the negative and positive electrodes such that the positive electrode is at the top and the negative electrode is at the bottom. You still loaded the DNA products at the top of the gel as normal. What result are you most likely to observe if you apply an electric current to this gel setup?

Answer:

The DNA will still move towards the positive electrode

Explanation:

Gel electrophoresis is a technique which is used by the molecular biologist to separate the fragments of DNA. In the procedure, a DNA sample of a particular concentration of DNA sample composed of a particular length of DNA is loaded into the samples.

The gel is usually set up with the positive electrode at the bottom and negative at the top which by mistake when placed at the bottom and positive at the top.

The DNA will still move from the DNA wells towards the positive side as the DNA moves in the gel as the DNA posses negative charge due to phosphate groups they have and therefore move towards the positive electrode (opposite charge always).

Thus, the DNA will still move towards the positive electrode is correct.

What should i know about proteins?​
katrin [286]

Proteins  are unbranched polymers constructed from 22 standard α-amino acids.

The protein show four levels of structural organisation; the primary structure, secondary structure, tertiary structure and quaternary structure.

The structure of proteins are stabilized by peptide bonds between the amino acid and hydrogen bond between the peptide chainds.

The primary structure of a protein is determined by the sequence of amino acids, but secondary and tertiary structures of protein define their natural or native conformation.

The solubility of protein varies according to the pH, ionic strength, nature of solvent, temperature etc.

Proteins can be classified as simple proteins or conjugated proteins on the basis of their composition.

The proteins can also be classified as fibrous proteins or globular proteins on the basis of their shape.

Proteins play a major part in body structure and function as most of the molecules like antibodies, immunoglobulins, hemoglobin, myoglobin ,most of the enzymes are proteins.

So proteins are also called building blocks of the body.

Which statement explains how weight is different from mass?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Weight is a measure of gravitational pull.

Weight is a type of force which attracts things towards the center of earth. Weight is measured in Newton. Weight depends on the gravity of earth. Weight changes due to change in height. Value of gravity is higher at the center of earth and six times lower at the moon because of no gravitational force of earth.
