Drink apple cider vinegar with water, tea or juice to potentially reduce high blood pressure, a contributing factor in heart disease. 1  Studies have shown that rats responded positively to the acetic acid.
We will use agarose gel electrophoresis to determine DNA fragment sizes, and to quantify DNA. This technique separates DNA molecules based on size. DNA has a net negative charge that is proportional to its size. When placed in a matrix of agarose and exposed to an electric field, DNA molecules will move towards the positive electrode.
gel electrophoresis. Gel electrophoresis is a laboratory method used to separate mixtures of DNA, RNA, or proteins according to molecular size. In gel electrophoresis, the molecules to be separated are pushed by an electrical field through a gel that contains small pores. The molecules travel through the pores in the gel at a speed that is inversely related to their lengths. This means that a small DNA molecule will travel a greater distance through the gel than will a larger DNA molecule.
