Gel electrophoresis is a method of genetic analysis which involves seperating segments of DNA based on their size and charge.

It involves cutting DNA with various enzymes, then placing the DNA in an agarose gel. An electrical current is then run through the gel. Because DNA is a polar molecule the DNA segments will travel through the agarose cell as the current is applied. Larger fragments will travel shorter distances than shorter fragments. Two plates with 2 different DNA samples will be conducted and the orientation of the DNA strands will be used to make an analysis by comparing the 2 plates.

Which objects allow humans to access groundwater? Check all that apply.
Masja [62]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The objects that allow humans to access ground water are:</u>

  • <u>A spring</u>
  • <u>a well drilled into an aquifer </u>
  • <u>a well drilled below the water table</u>
<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Access to ground water can be gained if we dig a well or use any source that can provide us an access below the water table. A water table is the level below which the ground is saturated with water. So above the saturation level we cannot gain access to water therefore we must go below it. A spring springs from ground below water table and the same thing occurs for well or an aquifer if it is below the water table..

I have no clue how to answer this
marta [7]

I believe this question is trying to get you to realize the difference between acquired traits(one you get through doing something during life) and heritable traits(ones from Mom/Dad). For example, I really wish I was 6 foot 4... but the height trait comes genetically from your parents since it is coded in my DNA how tall I will be, therefore this trait must be passed down genetically and somewhere down the evolutionary tree the humans in the region which my family comes from was better off being short. An example that comes from acquired traits could be muscularity... my parents are both not very muscular but throughout my lifetime I enjoy working out and have become much more muscular, no matter how much your parents or grandparents lift weights YOU won't change so that change must be acquired through aging during your lifetime. Now the amount of muscle your body can put on is a heritable thing but that is beside the point. Hope this helps :)

If a chromosome in one of your bone cells becomes mutated, you will not pass this mutation onto your children because
Sladkaya [172]
A person will not pass this mutation onto children because somatic cells cannot go through meiosis if a chromosome in one of the bone cells turn out to be mutated. A somatic cell is any cell that creates up an organism excluding reproductive cell. Which is for example the cells that create up the skin are all somatic cells and definite cells in a living organism support in reproduction, dividing or fusing through the reproductive procedure.

Phosphorus is obtained in__?
a_sh-v [17]

Phosphorus is most commonly found in rock formations and ocean sediments as phosphate salts. Phosphate salts that are released from rocks through weathering usually dissolve in soil water and will be absorbed by plants.  Phosphorus cycles through plants and animals much faster than it does through rocks and sediments. Given this information, the answer is;

<u>D. All of the above</u>
