Dr. Paul Ehrlich observed that the differential stain developed by Dr. Gram suggested bacteria could be killed differentially by

chemicals. He called these potential antibacterial agents "magic bullets". Which among the following cell features of bacteria are potential targets for Dr. Ehrlich’s "magic bullets" due to significant difference or absence from humans?
a. DNA
b. Glycocalyx
c. Cytoplasmic membrane
d. Ribosome
e. Cytoskeleton
f. Cell wall

Answer:

d. Ribosome

f. Cell wall

Explanation:

In humans 80s type of ribosome is present and in bacteria 70s type of ribosome is present. Human cells do not have cell wall while bacterial cells have peptidoglycan cell wall. These differences can be targeted by the potential antibacterial agents.

For example, tetracycline antibiotic inhibits the binding of important molecules to bacterial ribosome which ultimately inhibits the protein synthesis in bacteria. Vancomycin antibiotic on other hand inhibits the cell wall formation in bacteria by inhibiting peptidoglycan synthesis.

How is testing for brca1 or brca2 different from testing for a gene such as the tay-sachs gene? explain your answer in your labo
natka813 [3]

The BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 genes are two genes that are sought in the genetic study of an individual in order to seek a predisposition to breast cancer (in women and also in men).

The genes of Tay-sachs, are researched in order to diagnose or eliminate Tay-sachs disease.

The first difference lies in the goal of the research: for the BRCA (screening) genes, a predisposition is sought and for the Tay-sachs genes, it is sought to confirm the disease.

The second lies in the technique used:

The first step in the study of these genes is to isolate and replicate them. The best technique for this is the PCR (polymerase chain reaction). By using primers we can amplify the gene we want. So the primers used in BRCA and Tay-Sachs research are necessarily different.
