In rate-zonal centrifugation, a mixture is spun just long enough to separate molecules that differ in mass but may be similar in shape and density. which one of the following options represents the component that is typically used to create a gradient in this technique?

Question( June 2024):    In rate-zonal centrifugation, a mixture is spun just long enough to separate molecules that differ in mass but may be similar in shape and density. which one of the following options represents the component that is typically used to create a gradient in this technique? Phospholipids Sucrose K Cl Starch Answer: 2. Sucrose  Mass of Phospholipid-740-757 Da PC (Phosphatidylcholine)= 757 Da PE ( Phosphatidylethanolamine)=715 Da PS (Phosphatidylserine)= 758 Da PI ( Phosphatidylinositol)=833 Da Mass of Sucrose= 342.3 g/mol Mass of  K cl=74.55 g/mol Mass of starch=3.75 * 10 8 g/mol Rate zonal centrifugation method , materials used for preparation of density gradients are sucrose, glycerol, ficoll . Explanation of facts:   Centrifugation is a method employed to separate or concentrate substances suspended in a liquid by utilizing centrifugal force. This separation relies on the varying sedimentation rates of particles when exposed to a centrifug...

Below are some of the proposed role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plant defense.

Which of the molecular marker techniques uses a single primer in a PCR reaction for identifying polymorphisms between genotypes?

Tectonic uplift can alter the drainage patterns of rivers ,thereby isolating populations of many species. Population isolation of this kind results from which one of the following processes?

  What is Vicariance ? Vicariance: Vicariance is a process in biogeography where a population of organisms becomes geographically separated by a physical barrier, such as mountains, rivers, or changes in climate. This division halts gene flow between the separated groups, eventually leading to the formation of new species. For instance, when a river emerges and divides a population of animals, each group may undergo independent evolution due to genetic drift, natural selection, and varying environmental conditions. This concept is fundamental in evolutionary biology and illustrates how species diversify across different geographic areas. Question: ( CSIR DECEMBER 2024) Tectonic uplift can alter the drainage patterns of rivers ,thereby isolating populations of many species. Population isolation of this kind results from which one of the following processes? Dispersal Vicariance Range expansion  Competitive exclusion Answer:   2.Vicariance
