AI Thread Summary
Electrophoresis is a laboratory technique used to separate large molecules, such as DNA fragments or proteins, based on their size and charge. The process involves applying an electric field to a gel or solution containing the mixture, causing the molecules to migrate at different rates. This separation allows for the analysis and identification of the individual components. Understanding the principles of electrophoresis is essential for applications in genetics, biochemistry, and molecular biology. Clarifying these concepts can enhance comprehension of the technique's significance in scientific research.

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
