Answer #1

SDS imparts uniform negative charge thus due to repulsion of negative charge inearises your protein. Beta-mercaptoethanol breaks cysteine-cysteine disulphide bridges. Heating protein containing SDS and Beta-mercaptoethanol helps denature the protein. So in absence of SDS protein will retain their own charge .Now sepration will occur on the basis of charge and molecular weight both. It will be more a like native page as removal of SDS will maintain protein in native stage also.
