What is the Gila Monster’s advantage/disadvantage?

1 answer:

3 0

The Gila monster is one of only a handful of venomous lizards in the world. Others include the similar-looking Mexican beaded lizards, as well as iguanas and monitor lizards. Its venom is a fairly mild neurotoxin. And though a Gila bite is extremely painful, none has resulted in a reported human death.

It has been accused of many things, such as spitting venom, leaping several feet in the air to attack, stinging with its tongue, and killing people with gusts of poisonous breath. ... It may even chew so that the venom goes deeper into the wound. A Gila monster bite is painful to humans, but it rarely causes death.

Powerful muscles control the jaws and give the Gila Monster a bite like a bulldog--it just won't let go. This gives the venom a chance to work, weakening or disabling the lizard's prey.

How does gel electrophoresis sort strands of DNA?l

Kamila [148]

Answer:

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 a 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 difference in lengths sort themselves out.
