Lipids don't dissolve in water because of the different polarities. Water is polar and lipids are not polar which is why they don't dissolve. What this means is that they don't bond and don't share electrons and therefore don't mix.

Why choose that gene for PCR in the bacterial identification lab?
Reika [66]

Answer:

Background

During the course of a bacterial infection, the rapid identification of the causative agent(s) is necessary for the determination of effective treatment options. We have developed a method based on a modified broad-range PCR and an oligonucleotide microarray for the simultaneous detection and identification of 12 bacterial pathogens at the species level. The broad-range PCR primer mixture was designed using conserved regions of the bacterial topoisomerase genes gyrB and parE. The primer design allowed the use of a novel DNA amplification method, which produced labeled, single-stranded DNA suitable for microarray hybridization. The probes on the microarray were designed from the alignments of species- or genus-specific variable regions of the gyrB and parE genes flanked by the primers. We included mecA-specific primers and probes in the same assay to indicate the presence of methicillin resistance in the bacterial species. The feasibility of this assay in routine diagnostic testing was evaluated using 146 blood culture positive and 40 blood culture negative samples.

Explanation:

Results

Comparison of our results with those of a conventional culture-based method revealed a sensitivity of 96% (initial sensitivity of 82%) and specificity of 98%. Furthermore, only one cross-reaction was observed upon investigating 102 culture isolates from 70 untargeted bacteria. The total assay time was only three hours, including the time required for the DNA extraction, PCR and microarray steps in sequence.

Question 1 of 10
Sati [7]

Answer: Option A) Parathyroid glands

Explanation:

The Parathyroid gland located in the neck region helps in the secretion of an hormone called Parathormone.

This hormone helps to raise the levels of calcium ions in the body, by preventing the loss of calcium ions through urine, and also preventing excess deposit of calcium ions in the bone, thus regulating bone density.
