The correct order of steps in a gram staining procedure is:

(4) the specimen is treated with a stain called crystal violet.

(1) iodine is added as a fixative or mordant.

(3) the specimen is flushed with alcohol to dehydrate peptidoglycans and trap the stain.

(2) the specimen is treated with a stain such as safranin or fuchsin (a pink stain)

Gram staining is a common staining technique which helps to classify the bacteria into two categories: Gram positive and Gram negative. Gram positive bacteria appear violet in color and Gram negative bacteria appear to be pink. This color difference appears due to the difference in the bacterial cell walls.

Claim and evidence:
puteri [66]

It would happen that the effectiveness of an original vaccine could become less if there was a mutation in the virus that caused the protein spike to change because the antibodies created would not be specific for the new virus.

<h3>What would happen to the mutated virus?</h3>

Vaccines trigger an immune response to fight disease-causing organisms, a mutation in the virus to be fought would change the effectiveness of this immune response, as the specificity would not be the same with the mutant virus.

With this information, we can conclude that The immune response would not be specific for the new virus that caused the protein spike to change.
