Plaque assays are often used to estimate the number of virions in a sample of a particular volume (the titer). The count is give

n as plaque-forming units. Which of the following is NOT generally a concern that must be considered in evaluating the results of plaque assays?
a.The plaques must be at a density that can be counted on the plate; high and low densities may result in inaccurate counts.
b.The plaques must be clearly visible in order to be counted accurately; this technique cannot be used with viruses that do not cause clear cellular damage.
c.The largest problem is that single viruses may create multiple plaques, resulting in overestimates of the number of viruses present.
d.The largest problem is that the count may underestimate the total number of viral particles, as not all virions may be able to cause infection.

Answer:

c) The largest problem is that single viruses may create multiple plaques, resulting in overestimates of the number of viruses present.

Explanation:

  • Plaque-based assays are the accepted method used for finding virus concentration in terms of infectious dose.
  • Viral plaque assays determine the number of plaque forming units (pfu) in a virus sample, which is one measure of virus quantity.

Why is a person with type AB blood able to receive a blood transfusion from a donor with any of the major blood types (A, B, AB,
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

ABO blood grouping system is based on presence or absence of three types of antigen on red blood cells. A and B blood group have A and B antigens respectively. AB blood group has both A and B antigens. O blood group does not have any antigen.

A body with particular blood type will consider other blood group foreign ( because it has different antigen ) and produce antibodies against it. A person with blood type A can not be given B type blood because the antibodies in his body will destroy RBCs with B antigen which may even prove fatal.

AB blood type person can receive blood from both A and B blood groups because he has antigens for both of them so it will produce antibodies for neither of them. He can also receive O type blood because O blood does not have any antigen so it can be given to any person without incompatibility reaction.  

However, AB individual can only donate blood to AB individual because his blood cells have both A and B antigens. So, he can only donate blood to an individual who does not produce antibodies for both A and B blood groups and that would only be another AB blood type individual.

Many ecologists would like to move away from protecting individual endangered species to concentrate on protecting whole communi
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

While creating the conservation strategy, there is a need to remember that humans are part of the ecosystem, and are not positioned over the top to govern the entire ecosystem. In this inter-associated system, all are dependent upon each other. Thus, safeguarding the solitary endangered species or looking after the entire ecosystem is equally essential.  

Awareness amongst the public considering the importance of species diversity is required in order to encourage the conservation of all the species. Various ecologists focus more on the entire communities as one does not have complete understanding regarding this.
