MCQ 11 Mark
DNA fragments move at different distances in Gel Electrophoresis because:
  • A
    The voltage is too high.
  • B
    Molecular weights of the fragments are different.
  • C
    DNA has a positive charge.
  • D
    DNA gets denatured.
Answer
Molecular weights of the fragments are different.
Explanation: 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.
During gel electrophoresis, different fragments move at different distances due to differences in their molecular weight of the fragments. Smaller fragments move more towards the anode.

Represented below is the inheritance pattern of a certain type of trait in humans. Which one of the following conditions could be an example of this pattern?
Image
  • A
    Thalassemia
  • B
    Haemophilia
  • C
    Sickle Cell anemia
  • D
    Phenyl ketonuria
Answer
Haemophilia
Explanation: The inheritance pattern of a certain type of trait in humans shown above is haemophilia. A son cannot inherit the defective gene from his father. This is a recessive trait and can be passed on if cases are more severe with the carrier. Genetic testing and genetic counselling are recommended for families with haemophilia. The disease is X- linked and the father cannot pass haemophilia through the Y-chromosome.
