Three examples of marine genetically engineered organisms are:

1. AquAdvantage salmon is genetically engineered Atlantic salmon modified in order to achieve fast growth. A growth hormone-regulating gene of Pacific salmon is introduced in the genome of Atlantic salmon.

2. Grass carp was also modified by scientist in order to enhance its protection from contagious diseases. It has been modified with a transgene coding for lactoferrin (antibacterial function). So, the, survival rate of the modified Grass carp was doubled comparing to nonmodifeied fish.

3. Zebrafish is the most commonly used for modification because it has 1-cell embryo, with clear chorion so it is easy to be micro-injected with transgenic DNA.

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.
