The answer would be –genesis and –gram. 

Suffixes that have a Greek or Latin roots and that are used to combine with other words or parts of words are not called suffixes, these kind of affixes are called combining forms.


One combing form is –genesis.


As an independent medical term, this means the origin of something in medicine. When a doctor talks about the genesis of a contagion, he or she is speaking of the point of origin of a contagion.


-genesis used as a suffix, can indicate a particular process or pathogen. Example is parthenogenesis.


One combining form is –gram.


As an independent medical term, gram indicated the metric weight of an object as a unit of mass. If nurses talk about how much serving of food, they are talking about it in grams.

-gram signifies something written down. Example is pictogram.

What would be a different way by which you could determine the retention volume for the proteins and molecules analyzed in today
Lunna [17]
An alternative approach to this experiment would be the use of  Spectroscopy. Instead of trying to visualize and guess the fraction with the most intense color, the exact fraction could be found with Spectroscopy. A range of fractions that are the most intense are measured with the absorbance value for each one. The fraction with the highest absorbance value will be the most intense fraction.This method guarantees that the <span>correct retention volume is recorded.</span>
