The amoeba has a much larger genome (C-value) because A large percentage of eukaryotic genomes is non-coding DNA, the amoeba has much more non-coding DNA than the fruit fly.

  • The amount of DNA in an organism's haploid genome is measured by the C-value. It varies greatly, often rising in C-value as organism complexity increases—from prokaryotes to invertebrates, vertebrates, and plants.
  • The so-called C-Value Paradox refers to the finding that genome size does not always rise in proportion to an organism's apparent level of complexity.
  • In comparison to prokaryotes (organisms without a nucleus), such as bacteria, eukaryotes, or species having a nucleus to hold their genetic material (DNA), do have larger genomes.
  • Only 4 million base pairs make up the best friend of microbiologists, E. coli. On the other hand, the fly, Drosophila Melanogaster, has 140 million base pairs. Clearly, a fly is more complicated than a bacterium.

mash [69]

Answer:

All errors described will result in a negative result

Explanation:

The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), is a test used to detect and measure antibodies, antigens and proteins in the blood. An ELISA test uses antibodies and/or antigens that are coupled to an easily-assayed enzyme, thereby this approach combines antibody specificity with the sensitivity of simple enzyme assays. ELISA test involves an antibody or antigen that reacts to form an antigen-antibody complex, where such reaction is interpreted as a positive result. The negative results are evidenced by the lack of reaction, which may be caused by some error during the chain of reactions in the ELISA test: antigen >> primary antibody (reaction) >> functional secondary antibody (reaction) >> conjugated enzyme (reaction) >> functional substrate.
