In isoelectric focusing gel electrophoresis a. there is a pH gradient that parallels the electric field gradient b. particular care must be taken to ensure the same pH along the length of the gel c. the electric current is allowed to fluctuate d. the electric circuits of the apparatus must be very well insulated

a. there is a pH gradient that parallels the electric field gradient.

Explanation:

Gel electrophoresis is a technique used to separate DNA fragments according to their size. DNA samples are loaded in the wells and then electric current is applied to pull the DNA fragments out from the gel. Isoelectric gel electrophoresis is a process in which negatively charged DNA fragments are separated from the gel.

a lot of it means it can be "burned" for energy and sold at one price. if it is scarce, the price will go up
