A bands are dark bands?

Yes, in striated muscle you can think of the "A" bands as the dArk bands and the "I" bands as the lIght bands.


Based on restriction maps of plasmid determine the number of DNA fragments and sizes of the fragments?

Plasmids are circular pieces of DNA, so the number of fragments equals the number of cuts from the restriction enzymes. You can easily see this if you start with one restriction enzyme that cuts the plasmid in only one place. Cutting the circle in one place yields you only one fragment. If the restriction cuts in two places, you end up with two fragments; with three places, three fragments, etc. With linear chromosomes, the situation is different. Cutting a linear chromosome in one place yields two fragments, cutting in two places yields three fragments, etc. So the number of fragments is always one more than the number of cuts. A restriction map of a plasmid will show all of the cuts the restriction enzymes made. Each cut is labeled with the enzyme that made it. One can count the spaces between cuts to determine the number of fragments that are produced. Restriction maps usually (but not always) also show the size of each fragment.


How can bone fragments be broken down by the body?

Bone fragments can be broken down by specialized cells called osteoclasts. These cells secrete enzymes and acids that break down the mineralized matrix of bone, allowing the fragments to be reabsorbed into the body for recycling and potential use in bone remodeling or repair.


Compare the leading and lagging strands during replication?

The leading strand is synthesized continuously in the 5' to 3' direction, making replication faster and more efficient. The lagging strand is synthesized discontinuously in short fragments called Okazaki fragments, which are later joined together by DNA ligase. This process of replication is slower and requires additional steps compared to the leading strand.


Describe how do different fragments of DNA show up on a gel?

the chamber has a positive end and a negative end...the DNA moves through the gel toward the positive end (because DNA is negative). The smaller fragments move faster, therefore going further, and the larger pieces stay closer to the wells. what is DNA gel

What is the pattern of dark bands on photographic film that is made when DNA fragments are separated by gel electrophoresis and tagged?

The pattern of dark bands on photographic film in gel electrophoresis of DNA fragments is called a gel electrophoresis pattern. The dark bands are formed by DNA fragments of different sizes that have been tagged with a fluorescent or radioactive marker. The position of the bands indicates the size and quantity of the DNA fragments.

How does agarose gel electrophoresis work to separate DNA fragments based on their size?

Agarose gel electrophoresis separates DNA fragments based on their size by using an electric current to move the fragments through a gel made of agarose, a substance derived from seaweed. Smaller DNA fragments move faster through the gel, while larger fragments move more slowly. This separation occurs because the gel acts as a sieve, with smaller fragments able to navigate through the pores more easily than larger fragments. As a result, the DNA fragments are separated into distinct bands based on their size when viewed under ultraviolet light.

What is the specific gravity of breccia?

The specific gravity of breccia can vary depending on its composition. On average, the specific gravity of breccia is around 2.5 to 2.8. Breccia is a type of rock made up of various fragments cemented together, such as broken pieces of other rocks, which influences its specific gravity.

What class of sedimentary rocks are made of fragments from rocksminerals and shells?

Clastic sedimentary rocks are made of fragments from rocks, minerals, and shells. These fragments, called clasts, are compacted and cemented together over time to form rocks like sandstone, shale, and conglomerate.
