If after exchanging "body fluids" your ELISA is positive (shows a color change) does this mean you could have been the original

Answer:

By using detection antibodies specific for the infected carrier

Explanation:

The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assay is widely used in molecular biology (and biochemistry) laboratories to detect and measure antibodies in the blood. The antibodies are specific immunoglobulin proteins produced by B lymphocytes, these molecules bind to specific antigens present in pathogenic microorganisms during adaptive (acquired) immune responses, thereby protecting the organism against infectious agents. In consequence, the ELISA assay is a diagnostic method to assess the immune system responses against pathogenic microorganisms. The ELISA technique is specific because it is possible to use different detection antibodies, which bind to specific antigens in the polystyrene microtiter plate.

Describe: UAG (as well as UAA and UGA) is an example of a stop codon. Molecules called release factors bind to stop codons. Plac
Marianna [84]

Answer and Explanation:

UGA, UAG and UAA are the stop codons in the genetic code. During translation, these stop codons signal the end of the polypeptide chain. These codons do not code for an amino acid. Therefore they are called termination codons or nonsense codons. These stop codons have been called as ochre (UAA), amber (UAG) and umber or opal (UGA). Richard Epstein and Charles Steinberg revealed Amber (UAG). They named it amber while remaining two stop codons named as ochre (UAA) and opal (UAG) to maintain the theme of ‘colors names’. Stop codons release the new polypeptide chain from the ribosome, during protein synthesis. This happens because there are no tRNAs with anticodon corresponding to the stop codon.

balu736 [363]

Answer: The statement is false

Explanation:

It is a false statement because both DNA and RNA could consists of a double-stranded helix of sugars, phosphate groups, and nitrogenous bases.

The major differences however, is that thymine is found only in DNA, while uracil is found only in RNA molecules.

discuss the relationship between mitosis and cytokinesis. what would be the result is one happen without the other?
Arada [10]
<span>Mitosis can only happen with cytokinesis. Mitosis is the process in which a cell goes through to produce two new cell nuclei. Cytokinesis is when the cytoplasm splits. Without cytokinesis, mitosis would still happen but it would create 2 nuclei in one cell. And if cytokinesis happened and mitosis did not then the cell would most likely not survive.</span>
