People who suffer from a heart attack often have an increased ratio of lactic acid to pyruvic acid in their hearts. What does this observation say about the availability of oxygen in the heart muscle cells of someone who has had a heart attack? How could you use this information to screen people who might be at risk for a heart attack?

Assume that you are interested in separating short (200-400 bp) dna molecules from a pool of longer molecules in the 10,000-20,000 nucleotide range. you have two recipes for making your polyacrylamide gels: one recipe uses 1.5 percent agarose and would be considered a “hard gel,” while the other uses 0.5 percent agarose and would be considered a loose gel. which gel should you use to separate the short (200-400 bp) dna molecules from a pool of longer molecules in the 10,000-20,000 nucleotide range?
