when running a gel you need to have a positive control and negative control. what do these mean and what are they each used for?

Biology

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.

Answer:

Explanation:

That's quite a bit of points. Offer 20 next time (which shows up as 10).

Not all experiments lend themselves to this, but the best ones do. Make predictions. The startling experiments (the best of them) certainly allow you to make predictions

Most of the time, experiments confirm what was originally thought. It is, however, the best answer among this bunch.

A is also possible, but not always. I will stick with D, but I think others will pick A.

The ability of the human body to break down the red color in beets is controlled by an autosomal dominant allele. The inability
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

<em>Let the ability to break down the red color in beets be represented by the allele </em><em>B</em><em>. The inability would be represented by the allele </em><em>b</em><em>.</em>

A nonsecretor's genotype would be BB or Bb while a secretor's genotype would be bb.

A nonsecretor woman with a secretor father would be a carrier with genotype Bb. A nonsecretor man who in a previous marriage had a secretor daughter would also be a carrier with genotype Bb. If the two marries:

            <em>Bb     x     Bb</em>

<em>            BB    2Bb    bb</em>

1.

(a) probability of their first child will be a secretor girl = probability of having a girl and being a secretor.

Probability of having a girl = 1/2

Probability of being a secretor = 1/4

<em>probability of their first child will be a secretor girl</em> = 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/8

(b) Probability of their first child being a nonsecretor girl = probability of having a girl and being a nonsecretor.

Probability of having a girl = 1/2

Probability of being a nonsecretor = 3/4

<em>Probability of their first child being a nonsecretor girl = probability of having a girl and being a nonsecretor</em> = 1/2 x 3/4 = 3/8

2. <em>Probability that their first two children will be nonsecretors of either sex = probability of their first being a nonsecretor and of either sex and probability of their second being a nonsecretor and of either sex.</em>

  = 3/4 x 3/4 = 9/16

In this assignment, you will use simulations to analyze how climate, resources, and habitat size affect
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Larger habitats support populations with higher carrying capacities. Higher quality habitats support populations with higher carrying capacities. There is no difference in population growth rate between large and small habitats. Some major threats to biodiversity are: Habitat destruction/Deforestation, Introduced and invasive species, Genetic pollution, Over exploitation, Hybridization, Climate change, Diseases, Human overpopulation. If abiotic or biotic factors change, the carrying capacity changes as well. Natural disasters can destroy resources in an ecosystem. If resources are destroyed, the ecosystem will not be able to support a large population. This causes the carrying capacity to decrease.  

Carrying capacity could be reduced if each individual within the species consumed less from the environment. Think about humans: if every human needs a four car garage and a large house, the planet can sustain fewer humans than if each human lived in a studio apartment and traveled using a bicycle. It would take 1.75 Earths to sustain our current population. If current trends continue, we will reach 3 Earths by the year 2050. It is beyond dispute that the modern industrial world has been able to temporarily expand Earth's carrying capacity for our species. As Nordhaus points out, population has grown dramatically (from less than a billion in 1800 to 7.6 billion today), and so has per capita consumption. Historically, habitat and land use change have had the biggest impact on biodiversity in all ecosystems, but climate change and pollution are projected to increasingly affect all aspects of biodiversity. Sustainable agriculture practices support integrating biodiversity in various ways including in terms of diversity of crops, traditional agriculture techniques to control pests and increase productivity as well as ensuring that farmed land is made up of a diverse mix of grazing land, crop land, orchards, wetlands and more.
