Formamide molecules are added to an electrophoresis buffer for the purpose of denaturing DNA.
<h3>What is the purpose of the buffer during electrophoresis?</h3>
A laboratory procedure called electrophoresis is used to divide DNA, RNA, or protein molecules according to their size and electrical charge. The molecules are moved by an electric current through a gel or other matrix. In the case of Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE), the gradient can be an electrical field or a denaturant such as a solution of urea and formamide.
Size, charge, and other characteristics are used in electrophoresis to separate macromolecules like protein and nucleic acids. Scientists utilize buffer to transport the charge through the gel for electrophoresis that separates by charge. Additionally, the buffer keeps the gel's pH steady, reducing alterations that would take place in the protein or nucleic acid if the pH were to become unstable.

#SPJ1
Answer:
The correct answer is "Koch's postulates".
Explanation:
The missing options of this question are:
a) spontaneous generation
b) Koch's postulates
c) epidemiology
d) vaccination
The correct answer is option b) "Koch's postulates".
Koch's postulates propose four criteria used to establish that a pathogen is responsible for a disease. In his famous experiments, Robert Koch was able to prove that <em>Bacillus anthracis</em> is the cause of anthrax by injecting to a mouse an isolated culture from the blood of an injected sheep. The scenario established in the question is very similar to anthrax, and the scientific approach to look for the pathogen of the disease is following the principles of Koch's postulates.
Answer: Water Waves
Explanation:
Sometimes, a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave can combine to form another kind of wave called a surface wave. Waves in which the particles vibrate in an up-and-down motion. The particles in this kind of wave move across, or perpendicularly to, the direction that the wave is going.
Answer: Option D) fermentation
In yeasts and certain other microbes going through fermentation, pyruvate is turned into ethyl alcohol (ethanol).
Explanation:
Under anaerobic conditions (in the absence of oxygen), organisms such as yeast and microorganisms convert pyruvate (the end product of glycolysis) into ethanol and carbon dioxide ( CO2 ).
Thus, the process of turning pyruvate to alcohol is known as alcoholic fermentation.
Answer:
A. Abrasion
Explanation:
<em>"In abrasion, one rock bumps against another rock. Gravity causes abrasion as a rock tumbles down a mountainside or cliff. Moving water causes abrasion as particles in the water collide and bump against one another."</em>
