What type of antibody-like substance is used in the rapid plasma regain (RPR) card test

Biology
1 answer:
Kipish [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

reagin type antibody.

Explanation:

The rapid plasma reagin test is a test used to diagnose syphilis.

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease which is caused by treponema pallidum.

The rapid plasma reagin test is not for measuring the antibodies against actual bacteria but for measuring the antibodies formation due to material released because of  tissues damaged by treponema pallidum like IgG and IgM against lipodial materials which is released from damaged cells.

In light of the all or none law of muscle contraction, how can you explain the graded response?
Andrews [41]
<span>In the "all or none" law of muscle contraction, it states that when the stimulus applied exceeds threshold then the the nerve sending signals to a few muscle fibers will give a complete response; contraction. Graded response is dependent on how many motor units have been recruited. The more motor units, the greater the force in the contraction.</span>

Sperm tails in the fruit fly Drosophila bifurca can reach up to 6cm long, which is over 20 times the length of the organism itse
spayn [35]

Explanation:

The length of the sperm in a few species is much larger or giant than the size of the animal-like observed in the <em>Drosophila bifurca. </em>

In this fruit-fly, the tails of the sperm are too long which could be accounted for many reasons:

1. The sexual selection prefers the long tails over the small tail.

2. The large sperms can displace the small sperms in the female reproductive organ.

3. The female reproductive organ increases the promiscuity of the large sperms that is favour the large sperms over the small sperms.

If a point mutation occurs in a body cell so that the original sequence of mRNA of CGA changes to AGA, what will be the likely c
Talja [164]

Hi,

If a point mutation occurs during which  CGA changes to AGA, the mutation will be simply inherited to the offspring and there won't be any harsh effects on the health of individual.

This is because, both AGA and CGA code for same amino acid called Arginine.

We know that mutations posses harmful effects when they change the genetic sequence leading to the incorporation of incorrect amino acid in the organisms and their offspring. But in this case the mutation will not be harmful and will simply be transferred to the offspring and will have no effect on the functioning, fitness or survival of the organism

Hope it helps!:)
