How/why does the DNA separate?
Discuss porosity or pores, electricity, DNAS charge & size of DNA pieces. Highlight all the 4 terms
Electrophoresis is a technique commonly used in the lab to separate charged molecules, like DNA, according to size.
Gel electrophoresis is a technique commonly used in laboratories to separate charged molecules like DNA?, RNA? and proteins? according to their size.
Charged molecules move through a gel when an electric current is passed across it.
An electric current is applied across the gel so that one end of the gel has a positive charge and the other end has a negative charge.
The movement of charged molecules is called migration. Molecules migrate towards the opposite charge. A molecule with a negative charge will therefore be pulled towards the positive end (opposites attract!).
The gel consists of a permeable matrix, a bit like a sieve, through which molecules can travel when an electric current is passed across it.
Smaller molecules migrate through the gel more quickly and therefore travel further than larger fragments that migrate more slowly and therefore will travel a shorter distance. As a result the molecules are separated by size.
Gel electrophoresis and DNA
Electrophoresis enables you to distinguish DNA fragments of different lengths.
DNA is negatively charged, therefore, when an electric current is applied to the gel, DNA will migrate towards the positively charged electrode.
Shorter strands of DNA move more quickly through the gel than longer strands resulting in the fragments being arranged in order of size.
The use of dyes, fluorescent? tags or radioactive? labels enables the DNA on the gel to be seen after they have been separated. They will appear as bands on the gel.
A DNA marker with fragments of known lengths is usually run through the gel at the same time as the samples.
By comparing the bands of the DNA samples with those from the DNA marker, you can work out the approximate length of the DNA fragments in the samples.
How is gel electrophoresis carried out?
Preparing the gel
Agarose gels? are typically used to visualise fragments of DNA. The concentration of agarose used to make the gel depends on the size of the DNA fragments you are working with.
The higher the agarose concentration, the denser the matrix and vice versa. Smaller fragments of DNA are separated on higher concentrations of agarose whilst larger molecules require a lower concentration of agarose.
To make a gel, agarose powder is mixed with an electrophoresis buffer and heated to a high temperature until all of the agarose powder has melted.
The molten gel is then poured into a gel casting tray and a “comb” is placed at one end to make wells for the sample to be pipetted into.
Once the gel has cooled and solidified (it will now be opaque rather than clear) the comb is removed.
Many people now use pre-made gels.
The gel is then placed into an electrophoresis tank and electrophoresis buffer is poured into the tank until the surface of the gel is covered. The buffer conducts the electric current. The type of buffer used depends on the approximate size of the DNA fragments in the sample.
Preparing the DNA for electrophoresis
A dye is added to the sample of DNA prior to electrophoresis to increase the viscosity of the sample which will prevent it from floating out of the wells and so that the migration of the sample through the gel can be seen.
A DNA marker (also known as a size standard or a DNA ladder) is loaded into the first well of the gel. The fragments in the marker are of a known length so can be used to help approximate the size of the fragments in the samples.
The prepared DNA samples are then pipetted into the remaining wells of the gel.
When this is done the lid is placed on the electrophoresis tank making sure that the orientation of the gel and positive and negative electrodes is correct (we want the DNA to migrate across the gel to the positive end).
Separating the fragments
The electrical current is then turned on so that the negatively charged DNA moves through the gel towards the positive side of the gel.
Shorter lengths of DNA move faster than longer lengths so move further in the time the current is run.
The distance the DNA has migrated in the gel can be judged visually by monitoring the migration of the loading buffer dye.
The electrical current is left on long enough to ensure that the DNA fragments move far enough across the gel to separate them, but not so long that they run off the end of the gel.
Illustration of DNA electrophoresis equipment used to separate DNA fragments by size. A gel sits within a tank of buffer. The DNA samples are placed in wells at one end of the gel and an electrical current passed across the gel. The negatively-charged DNA moves towards the postive electrode.

A student is researching the inheritance patterns of different traits in chickens. She hypothesizes that red feathers are dominant over black, and the trait for crests are dominant over non-crested. She performs a test cross to confirm her hypothesis. To produce the F1 generation, she crosses two parents-- a chicken that is homologous for traits showing red and crested and a chicken that is homologous for traits showing black and non-crested. Which ratio best represents the phenotype of the F2 generation
9:3:3:1
1:1:1:1
2:2:1:1
16:0
Answer:
9:3:3:1
Explanation:
In this inheritance pattern, the ratio that best represents the phenotype of the F2 generation is 9:3:3:1. Thus, the correct option for this question is A.
What is a Phenotype?A phenotype may be defined as the mechanism of expressing genotypes in the form of traits. In more simple words, it is also characterized as the morphology or physiology which comes due to the combination of alleles.
If a trait of red feathers is denoted by R and the trait of black feathers is denoted by r, then R > r. Similarly, a trait of crests is denoted by C and the trait of non-crested is denoted by c, then, C > c.
Now, RRCC is crossed with rrcc, the F1 offspring have the genotype RrCc with the phenotype of red feathers with crests. Now, RrCc is selfed, it produces the ratio of 9:3:3:1. This is an example of a dihybrid cross.
Therefore, in this inheritance pattern, the ratio that best represents the phenotype of the F2 generation is 9:3:3:1. Thus, the correct option for this question is A.

birds and mammals are both endothermic. i.e. they maintain body temperature internally through metabolism rather than from the environment. how would you explain this, given the position of the two groups of animals on the phylogenetic tree?
On the phylogenetic tree, (a diagram used to show relatedness among organisms) the birds and mammals are closely related to each other and they both are characterized as endothermic.
Given the position of the two group of animals on the phylogenetic tree, their similarity with regards to maintaining body temperature is due to the fact that their evolution involves a more recent ancestor compared with the other vertebrates.
As organisms evolve beginning from invertebrates through to vertebrates, the body system becomes more complex and as they evolve within the vertebrate group.
Some vertebrates like reptiles and amphibians that were dependent on the environment to regulate their temperature while others like birds and mammals forms complex system that enable them live on land and regulate their temperature independent of the environment.

Which option(s) correctly describes chromosomes?
Chromosomes consist of tightly coiled DNA wrapped around proteins called histones
Each chromosome has one gene
Chromosome pairs contain completely different genes
Most human cells have two copies of each chromosome - one from each parent.
Answer:In the nucleus of each cell, the DNA molecule is packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.
Chromosomes are not visible in the cell’s nucleus—not even under a microscope—when the cell is not dividing. However, the DNA that makes up chromosomes becomes more tightly packed during cell division and is then visible under a microscope. Most of what researchers know about chromosomes was learned by observing chromosomes during cell division.
Each chromosome has a constriction point called the centromere, which divides the chromosome into two sections, or “arms.” The short arm of the chromosome is labeled the “p arm.” The long arm of the chromosome is labeled the “q arm.” The location of the centromere on each chromosome gives the chromosome its characteristic shape, and can be used to help describe the location of specific genes.

What are the answers to this chart
The cell spends most of the time in the interphase, which is in the G1, S, and G2 phases, and approximately 22 hours out of 24 hours, with the rest being 1–2 hours, are spent in the division phase.
What is the time spent in the cell cycle?
The cell enters the cell cycle, and the first stage is the G1 phase, where the cell grows and spends a lot of time nearly 11 hours and then the cell enters the S phase. In the S phase, the DNA replicates and spends nearly 7 hours, and then in the G2 phase, 3 to 4 hours are spent by the cell, with the remaining 1 to 2 hours spent in the M phase, also called the mitosis or division phase.
Hence, cells spend most of the time in the interphase, which is in the G1, S, and G2 phases, and approximately 22 hours out of 24 hours, with the rest being 1–2 hours, are spent in the division phase.
