It can be concluded that the cells CONTAIN ACID FAST BACTERIA.
Acid fast staining is a staining technique that is used to differentiate two types of gram positive cells, those that have waxy mycolic acid in their cell wall and those that do not.
Those cells that do not have mycolic acid in their cell wall will show blue color after acid fast staining.

It can be concluded that the cells on the slide are acid-fast bacteria if red colored spots are seen on the slid containing acid fast stain.

Further explanation:

The acid-fast organisms such as mycobacteria can be differentiated from the other bacteria by the help of acid-fast staining. These acid-fast bacteria show a very high concentration of mycolic acid in the cell walls. The two stations that are used in this type of staining technique are carbolfuchsin and methylene blue.

The acid-fast organisms retain the red color of carbolfuchsin even after the decolorizing agent is added to it. The non-acid-fast organisms do not retain the red color of carbon fusion and thus, are counterstained by methylene blue.

All the gram-positive bacteria are acid-fast bacteria. In addition to the peptidoglycan layer, the acid-fast bacteria have a cell wall containing large amounts of glycolipids (mycolic acids). Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium leprae are the two examples of acid-fast bacteria.

As an analogy to gene expression in eukaryotes, let's compare it to the process of cooking recipes from a library of cookbooks.

scoundrel [369]

Two major steps are needed to obtain a protein from a gene. Transcription makes it possible to obtain a copy of the gene present on the chromosome, in the form of a messenger RNA (mRNA). Translation is the stage during which this mRNA is read by the ribosome to obtain a protein.
DNA replication is associated with photocopy because replication will give an identical copy of the cell DNA.
Transcription is associated with book printing because in transcription the genetic information will be transferred to another platform (RNA)
Nucleus in a Library since this is where the "book printing" occurs, and where the books (DNA) are
DNA is the book, where all the information are
RNA transcript is the photocopy
Translation is the cooking since it is the protein synthesis
Proteins/polypeptide is the cooking objective, so it is the prepared dish
RNA polymerase is the Xerox machine, it will copy the information in the DNA to RNA transcript
Ribosomes is the cooks, because this is where translation occurs
Activator protein are the bookmarks because it choose wich part of DNA it has to be transcript.

If a mother is type A and has a child who is type B what are the possible blood types of the father

jenyasd209 [6]

The possible father's blood groups are B, AB.

Explanation:

If the mother blood type of A, and the father blood type is AB, B then the child is B. Each biological parent donates one of their two ABO alleles to the child. The blood types in our body are classified as the four paternal blood types and the four maternal blood types.

The blood type has the 16 combinations of the blood samples. The genetic information from the body is independently inherited to the ABO blood types alleles. In the Rh factor, the genetic information is inherited from the one parent to another.
