Answer:

The correct answer is A. inflammation

Explanation:

Inflammation is the defense mechanism of the immune system which is non-specific and part of the innate immunity of the body. Inflammation is the reaction against any cell injury.  

Inflammation is categorized by heat, pain, redness(erythema), and swelling(edema). These changes occur because of the result of the increase in local blood vessel diameter which leads to increase of flow of blood that results in heat and redness.  

The transport of fluids and proteins takes place at the injury site which causes swelling and pain. Therefore the right answer is A. inflammation.

20. Geneticists creating the "glow in the dark" or fluorescent rabbit, inserted the GFP gene
juin [17]

The correct answer is C) the fluorescent cells can help track the movement of cells.

Explanation:

In the last years, geneticists and scientists created animals that glow in the dark by inserting a Green Fluorescent Protein or GFP gene found in some species of jellyfish. This protein was used in animals such as rabbits, rats, and even chickens. One of the key reasons for this is that by inserting fluorescence scientists can better observe the development and movement of cells. This includes analyzing cells reproduction and growing in embryos of "glowing" animals or inserting the protein in specific cells or organs in an organism to observe how these change or move. Thus, the purpose of studying fluorescent rabbits is that "the fluorescent cells can help track the movement of cells".

You INCORRECTLY perform an acid-fast stain on a smear from a mixed culture of Mycobacterium smegmatis (acid-fast) cells and Stap
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

In acid-fast staining, carbon fuchsin is used as a primary stain which dissolves the mycolic acid present in the cell wall of <em>Mycobacterium smegmatis </em>and penetrates through it which results in staining <em>Mycobacterium</em> red.

Staphylococcus aureus cell wall does not contain mycolic acid so carbon fuchsin does not penetrate its cell wall, therefore, it becomes colorless after destaining with acid alcohol.

After destaining step methylene blue is added to stain non-acid-fast bacteria blue. So if I mistakenly forgot to use methylene blue during the procedure <em>Mycobacterium smegmatis</em> will appear red due to carbon fuchsin present in their cell wall and S<em>taphylococcus aureus</em> will appear colorless because it is destained.
