Answer:In addition to genetic applications, the biochip is being used in toxicological, protein, and biochemical research. Biochips can also be used to rapidly detect chemical agents used in biological warfare so that defensive measures can be taken. Hopefully this helps

Explanation:A biochip is a collection of miniaturized test sites (microarrays) arranged on a solid substrate that permits many tests to be performed at the same time in order to achieve higher throughput and speed. Typically, a biochip's surface area is no larger than a fingernail. Like a computer chip that can perform millions of mathematical operations in one second, a biochip can perform thousands of biological reactions, such as decoding genes, in a few seconds.A genetic biochip is designed to "freeze" into place the structures of many short strands of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the basic chemical instruction that determines the characteristics of an organism. Effectively, it is used as a kind of "test tube" for real chemical samples. A specially designed microscope can determine where the sample hybridized with DNA strands in the biochip. Biochips helped to dramatically accelerate the identification of the estimated 80,000 genes in human DNA, an ongoing world-wide research collaboration known as the Human Genome Project. The microchip is described as a sort of "word search" function that can quickly sequence DNA.In addition to genetic applications,

How does the structure of a nephron directly relate to function of the kidney
VLD [36.1K]
Nephrons are the filtering structures of the kidneys. The kidneys contain millions and millions of these tiny filtering structures that are responsible for cleaning the blood. Nephrons are responsible for removing excess water, wastes, and other substances in the blood that are not needed by the body. They also return necessary substances (e.g. sodium, potassium, phosphorus) whenever the body runs low in supply.  

If these nephrons are damaged, blood will not be properly filtered. As a result, the kidney will have different diseases and this might lead to kidney and multiple organ failure.       <span> </span>

What is created from mitosis in animals?
lapo4ka [179]
A. two identical nuclei
<span>Mitosis, simply put, is the division of the nucleus of a cell. It is the phase in the cycle of a cell in which the two chromosomes in a cell divide and separate in a nucleus of their own. These chromosomes are completely identical. As a result of mitosis, two identical cells are formed and are known as daughter cells. This process copies and transfers DNA into both the cells that are formed as a result of Mitosis.</span>
