Explanation:

RSV is caused by a group of paramyxoviruses and belong to the group of pneumoviruses. It has two prevalent strains RSV-A and RSV-B.

To test RSV antigen in the sample we can use immunofluorescence test (IFT). IFT is a method used to identify pathogen specific antigen or antibody in sample collected from patient using fluorescence. A fluorochrome protein molecule is used to do this. Depending upon the material used and dye fluorochrome releases energy which results in fluorescence.

In this method sample collected from patient is applied on the plate and antibodies specific to the antigen are added into the plates with antigen. The antibodies used are labeled with fluorochrome to give fluorescence.

2. As viruses genetic material is prone to errors it is difficult to create a vaccine against viruses. RSV has RNA as genome and it has highly conserved lipoprotein which functions as antigen. This lipoprotein sequence is highly conserved in all the strains of the viruses. I would prefer to use this lipoprotein present in the membrane of virus for vaccine research

Scilla [17]

Answer:

Option B, Move closer to your home town

Explanation:

The options for the given question are as follows -

A) Knock down your previous house and build a bigger one.

B) Move closer to your home town.

C) Move further away from your home town.

D) Stay where you are but speed up your daily life

Solution -

Electrons carry negative charge while nucleus carries positive charge due to the presence of positively charged proton ions and neutral ions (which has no charge). All the electrons are attracted towards the nucleus due to its positive charge. The orbit on which an electron revolves around a nucleus has higher energy level as compared to the energy levels located in between the space of electron and nucleus.  

While moving from a high energy orbital to a low energy level orbital, an electron releases some energy.  Hence, in order to move closer to home, electron needs to push itself toward the nucleus by releasing energy

Hence, the given option is B

A hematoma in the flank locale. A hematoma is a confined accumulation of blood outside the veins, due to either malady or injury including damage or surgery and may include blood proceeding to leak from broken vessels. A hematoma is at first in fluid shape spread among the tissues incorporating into sacs between tissues where it might coagulate and harden before blood is reabsorbed into veins. An ecchymosis is a hematoma of the skin bigger than 10mm.

Adding an extra nucleotide to a dna sequence produces what type of mutation answers
timama [110]
The addition of an extra nucleotide to a DNA sequence produces a mutation that is called insertion. An insertion mutation can be in various sizes, from one nucleotide base pair to a section of one chromosome inserted into another. When one or more nucleotides are inserted into the genome, the processes of translation and transcription could be disrupted, resulting in altered protein synthesis.
