RNA interference has potential applications in biotechnology and medicine, except for treating diseases characterized by genes that are not expressed.

<h3>What is RNA interference?</h3>

RNA interference (RNAi) or post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) is a conserved biological response to double-stranded RNA that confers resistance to both endogenous parasites and exogenous pathogen nucleic acids, encoding proteins regulates the expression of genes.  

<h3>What are the advantages of RNAi?</h3>
  • RNA interference is a natural process involved in the regulation of protein synthesis and immunity.
  • One of the advantages of RNAi technology is the rapid development of effective targeted drugs to control tumor growth. Therefore, cancer is one of the prime targets for RNAi-based therapy due to its high relationship with gene expression and cell proliferation.

Answer:

See explanation below.

Explanation:

<em>Study Design - Partially double-blinded study</em>

  • The <u>cohort study </u>will be composed of 80 adults (aged ≥18 years) with a clinical diagnosis of constant coughing present as a result of a cold, which would be measured by semiautomated ambulatory cough monitor.
  • This study will be divided into an experimental group and a control group:
  1. No medication (natural drops; <em>e.g.</em> water; saline solution) - <em>Control group </em>
  2. Cough treatment - <em>Experimental group</em>
  • Data to be collected:

Participant cough will be recorded <u>every hour</u> (until 8 hours are reached) for two consecutive days (for repetitions) in both groups using semiautomated ambulatory cough monitor and analyzed statistically.

  • Observations:

Experimental group: <u>If coughing is significantly (statistical analysis) reduced within the 8 hours </u>(<em>after repetitions</em>) and a symptom improvement is observed, <u>the hypothesis that cough drops are effective is valid</u>.

Control group: To determine that cough drops treatment is effective, the no-treatment group should score worst and participant should not show significant improvement.

*<em>In scientific experiments, repetitions are important to prevent bias and error.</em>

Someone new is preparing media for lab and adds buffers to the EMB agar that raise the pH to 7.8. The starting pH of EMB plates
mestny [16]

Answer and Explanation:

  • Eosin Methylene blue agar or EMB agar consists of sucrose, lactose, methylene blue and Eosin Y. These segments make it a differential medium which permits development of gram-negative microorganisms. Gram positive microscopic organisms develop inadequately on this medium.  
  • It is particular for development of gram-negative microscopic organisms. It likewise separates between non-fermenting gram negative enteric microscopic organisms and lactose fermenting.  
  • Lactose fermenting gram negative microscopic organisms use lactose to deliver corrosive which changes the shading to dull purple. Some of the lactose fermenter will exhibit dim provinces with green metallic sheen while different settlements with purple focus. Green metallic sheen is because of creation of solid acids.  
  • In the event that the beginning pH is 7.8 rather than 6.9-7.3, the color won't change shading regardless of creation of acids. Consequently, it won't be conceivable to separate between lactose fermenter and non-fermenters.

Active Immunity is natural.

Passive Immunity is maternal.

Active Immunity from Vaccination.

Passive Immunity is Artificial.

Passive Immunity:

   Does not require previous exposure to a disease agent

   Takes effect immediately

   Does not last long (up to a few months)

Active Immunity is produced inside of the body, whereas passive immunity is introduced from outside of the body.

Active Immunity is from direct infection and vaccination.

Passive Immunity is from Breast milk, Injection, Mother to baby through the placenta.

Active Immunity takes effect over time (typically several weeks).

Passive Immunity takes effect immediately.

Active Immunity's length of efficacy is Long-term to lifelong.

Passive Immunity is short-term.

Active Immunity is produced by memory cells, Passive Immunity is not.

Hope this was insightful and enough information.
