Answer to number two:The crisis of biodiversity will lead to a food crisis for humans because:

1.No varieties in certain foods like plants and animals that are healthy

2.The Less food there is,more animals go extinct which means humans will go extinct too.

and finally 3: Without certain types of species like the bee, humans have no chance of survival (since bees pollinate flowers,fruits,and plants which could be used for human consumption and medicine)

What does Canada and climate change have to do together:
4-5 sentences

Answers

Answer:

Over the years with increasing temperatures from centuries Canada's weather temps has increased highly. You see, Canada has always been a country with low temperatures. With global warming and carbon dioxide being reused for decades causes build-up in the atmosphere and since that reused carbon has been through the layers (of the atmosphere) it releases higher tempratures. Carbon can reach the thermosphere. But you may be wondering why Canada is still a cold place if the thermosphere is the hottest layer. That's because CO2 is the primary gas that radiationally cools the thermosphere, but at solar maximum, increases in other minor gases cause CO2 cooling to be less important. The "build-up" in the atmosphere gets released because that's how we are still alive.

How/why does the DNA separate? Discuss porosity

or pores, electricity, DNA's charge & size of DNA

pieces. Highlight each term.

Answers

Answer:

Gel electrophoresis is a technique used to separate DNA fragments (or other macromolecules, such as RNA and proteins) based on their size and charge. Electrophoresis involves running a current through a gel containing the molecules of interest. Based on their size and charge, the molecules will travel through the gel in different directions or at different speeds, allowing them to be separated from one another.

All DNA molecules have the same amount of charge per mass. Because of this, gel electrophoresis of DNA fragments separates them based on size only. Using electrophoresis, we can see how many different DNA fragments are present in a sample and how large they are relative to one another. We can also determine the absolute size of a piece of DNA by examining it next to a standard "yardstick" made up of DNA fragments of known sizes.

What is a gel?

As the name suggests, gel electrophoresis involves a gel: a slab of Jello-like material. Gels for DNA separation are often made out of a polysaccharide called agarose, which comes as dry, powdered flakes. When the agarose is heated in a buffer (water with some salts in it) and allowed to cool, it will form a solid, slightly squishy gel. At the molecular level, the gel is a matrix of agarose molecules that are held together by hydrogen bonds and form tiny pores.

At one end, the gel has pocket-like indentations called wells, which are where the DNA samples will be placed:

Before the DNA samples are added, the gel must be placed in a gel box. One end of the box is hooked to a positive electrode, while the other end is hooked to a negative electrode. The main body of the box, where the gel is placed, is filled with a salt-containing buffer solution that can conduct current. Although you may not be able to see in the image above (thanks to my amazing artistic skills), the buffer fills the gel box to a level where it just barely covers the gel.

The end of the gel with the wells is positioned towards the negative electrode. The end without wells (towards which the DNA fragments will migrate) is positioned towards the positive electrode.

How do DNA fragments move through the gel?

Once the gel is in the box, each of the DNA samples we want to examine (for instance, each PCR reaction or each restriction-digested plasmid) is carefully transferred into one of the wells. One well is reserved for a DNA ladder, a standard reference that contains DNA fragments of known lengths. Commercial DNA ladders come in different size ranges, so we would want to pick one with good "coverage" of the size range of our expected fragments.

Next, the power to the gel box is turned on, and current begins to flow through the gel. The DNA molecules have a negative charge because of the phosphate groups in their sugar-phosphate backbone, so they start moving through the matrix of the gel towards the positive pole. When the power is turned on and current is passing through the gel, the gel is said to be running. [What voltage is used to run a gel?]

DNA samples are loaded into wells at negative electrode end of gel.

Power is turned on and DNA fragments migrate through gel (towards the positive electrode).

After the gel has run, the fragments are separated by size. The largest fragments are near the top of the gel (negative electrode, where they began), and the smallest fragments are near the bottom (positive electrode).

DNA samples are loaded into wells at negative electrode end of gel.

Power is turned on and DNA fragments migrate through gel (towards the positive electrode).

After the gel has run, the fragments are separated by size. The largest fragments are near the top of the gel (negative electrode, where they began), and the smallest fragments are near the bottom (positive electrode).

Based on similar diagram in Reece et al.^2  

2

squared

As the gel runs, shorter pieces of DNA will travel through the pores of the gel matrix faster than longer ones. After the gel has run for awhile, the shortest pieces of DNA will be close to the positive end of the gel, while the longest pieces of DNA will remain near the wells. Very short pieces of DNA may have run right off the end of the gel if we left it on for too long (something I've most definitely been guilty of!).

Visualizing the DNA fragments

Once the fragments have been separated, we can examine the gel and see what sizes of bands are found on it. When a gel is stained with a DNA-binding dye and placed under UV light, the DNA fragments will glow, allowing us to see the DNA present at different locations along the length of the gel.

Governments often implement price ceilings to protect consumers from the high prices of essential goods and services that frequently follow natural disasters. One

Answers

One  unfortunate side effect of these price ceilings is that they will likely lead to a shortage as prices are kept from rising to their equilibrium level.

A price ceiling is a form of price control where the government sets the maximum price of a product. The price of the good is usually set below equilibrium price.

Effects of a price ceiling

It leads to shortages. This is because the profit that can be earned by producers has fallen and this discourages the supply of goods and services.  It leads to the development of black markets. Consumer surplus increases. This is because price is below equilibrium price.
