I believe the positive control receives a treatment with a known response, so that this positive response can be compared to the unknown response of the treatment. This is used in electrophoresis to compare the DNA strands to the DNA standard. The negative control is used when no response is expected, which is also used in the process of electrophoresis. Electrophoresis is a technique used in laboratories  in order to separate macromolecules based on size. It applies a negative charge so proteins move towards a positive charge. It is sued for the analysis of both DNA and RNA.

If temperatures are too high, the leaves from these delicate plants will whilt and die. If there is too much rain, the leaves will fall off and the plant will lose it natural beauty.

When a scientist uses radiometric dating to determine the age of a rock specimen, would he use a radioactive element with a shor
xenn [34]

Answer:

He will use a radioactive element with a long half life of greater than 1 billion years

Explanation:

Rocks are an aggregation of solid mass which is usually rich in minerals. The age of rocks is established using radiometric dating method.

According to Oxford Dictionary, radiometric dating is "a method of dating geological specimens by determining the relative proportions of particular radioactive isotopes present in a sample."

The age of rocks can only be ascertained using isotopes that have very long half lives because many of these rocks are very old (aged billions of years) hence their age can only be determined using elements that has a half life greater than 1 billion years.
