Answer : The correct answer for the blank is -  C) point mutation.

Mutation can be described as the permanent change in the sequence of genetic material (that is DNA) of living organisms.

Point mutation corresponds to change in one nucleotide sequence of DNA.

There can be primarily three types of point mutation that is deletion (one nucleotide is deleted from the sequence), addition (a nucleotide is added), and substitution (a nucleotide is substituted by another nucleotide).

Thus, option C) is the right answer.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The substitution, addition, or removal of a single nucleotide in DNA is called a point mutation. It is a type of mutation that affects only one or very few nucleotides in a gene sequence.

habituation involves the complete elimination of a particular response (i.e, zero frequency of occurrence). If the stimulus cintinues to be presented for an additional number of trials, then, although no further changes occur, the response will exhibit lower levels of recovery (e.g, spontaneous recovery is reduced) as if the response would have fallen below a zero frequency.

Describe how mAbs and a fluorescent dye could be used to observe whether Staphylococcus aureus pathogens are
yulyashka [42]

Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive bacteria that cause a wide variety of clinical diseases. Infections caused by this pathogen are common both in community-acquired and hospital-acquired settings. The treatment remains challenging due to the emergence of multi-drug resistant strains such as MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus). S. aureus does not normally cause infection on healthy skin, however, if it is allowed to enter the internal tissues or bloodstream, these bacteria may cause a variety of potentially serious infections. This activity describes the evaluation and treatment of Staphylococcus infections and reviews the role of the interprofessional team in managing patients with these diseases.
