Answer:

Indirect ELISA will be the best approach to test the gonadotropin according to example.

Explanation:

Now, the scenario is that we are working on ribonuclease A (RNase A) which is an antigen and against this we produced mouse monoclonal antibodies to RNase A (anti-RNase A).

Note: No other laboratories have these monoclonal antibodies.

So, it means we don't have commercially available antibodies against RNase A and we are producing antibodies.

According to this scenario we will use indirect ELISA because firstly, we use antigen (RNase A) and then monoclonal antibodies against RNase A and after that we will use anti-monoclonal RNase A antibodies (secondary antibodies) with substrate to produce color according to concentration of antibodies.

Note: Secondary antibodies (anti-monoclonal RNase A antibodies) can be produced against RNase A antibodies.

We can't use sandwich ELISA because there is not any lab who has monoclonal antibodies against RNase A. So, first we use antigen then its antibodies and then against these antibodies we use secondary antibodies to determine the effectiveness of monoclonal antibodies against RNase A.

PKU is a recessively inherited disease. Two

olga55 [171]

Answer:

If PKU is a recessively inherited disease, and the baby got it without either parent having it, then you can use a pedigree to figure out what kind of disease it is (whether autosomal or sex-linked). You can automatically cancel out sex-linked because we don't know the gender of the baby, so you can conclude that PKU is autosomal recessive in this family.

Does that make sense?

How is DNA and Protein Synthesis related?

lana66690 [7]

Explanation:

DNA is divided into functional units called genes. A gene is a segment of DNA that codes for a functional product (mRNA, tRNA, or rRNA). Since the vast majority of genes are transcribed into mRNA and mRNA is subsequently translated into polypeptides or proteins, most genes code for protein synthesis.

What would happen to a single-celled life form if the information handed down to offspring was always copied perfectly? (Select

Alja [10]

For a single-celled life form that the information handed down to offspring, we would see every generation would be a carbon copy of the one single-celled life form.This is further explained below.

To find the completion we need to know more about a single-celled life

<h3>What would happen to a single-celled life form if the information handed down to offspring was always copied perfectly?</h3>

Generally, A single-celled organism, also known as a unicellular organism, is an organism made up of only one cell.

In conclusion, Every generation would be a carbon copy of the one before it.
