You are attempting to recapitulate the transposon mutagenesis experiment without the benefit of counter selection due to unavail

ability of a DAP auxotroph Donor. As in the lab, the plasmid requires the Pi protein for replication, and the transposon carries Kanamycin resistance. Your Donor and Recipient strains have the following characteristics ( : presence, -: absence, kan: kanamycin, tet: tetracycline, R: resistant, S: sensitive):
Donor Recipient
pir pir-
kanR kanS
tetS tetR
What would be the appropriate media for carrying out selection and counter selection?
A. Luria Agar
B. Luria Afar + pir
C. Luria Agar + kanamycin + tetracycline
D. Luria Agar + tetracycline
E. Luria Agar + pir + kanamycin
F. Luria Agar + kanamycin

Answer:

C. Luria Agar + kanamycin + tetracycline

Explanation:

Given that the recipient strain is tetracycline resistance and the donor strain is tetracycline sensitive.

Recipient strain is kanamycin sensitive and the donor strain is kanamycin resistance sensitive.

If we grow the recipient cell in Luria agar containing tetracycline then only recipient cells will grow and all the donor cells will die.

If we grow the recipient cell in Luria agar containing kanamycin then only recipient cells that have undergone transposon mutagenesis will grow and along with donor cells.

If the Luria agar has both kanamycin and tetracycline then only the recipient cells that have undergone transposon mutagenesis will grow.

Since recipient cells will acquire pir gene. So it will not require pir in the media.

So correct answer is option C. Luria Agar + kanamycin + tetracycline

Answer:

C. Luria Agar + kanamycin + tetracycline

Explanation:

As you can see in the question above, the recipient strain is resistant to tetracycline and not resistant to kanamycin, while the donor strain is not resistant to tetracycline and is resistant to canycin.

Based on this, we can visualize how the growth of these cells would be in relation to the composition of the culture media. If the culture medium has agar + tetracycline, only resistant strains would grow, in this case, donor strains would die. However, if the culture medium has agar + kanamycin in its composition, the recipient cells can grow, in the same way as donor strains, if a mutation caused by transposons has occurred.

A third situation can happen. There may be a culture medium containing luria agar + kanamycin + tetracycline. In this case, cells that are neither resistant to kanamycin nor tetracycline will be able to grow, however, recipient cells that have been mutated by transposons will be able to grow

BILATERAL SCREENING MAMMOGRAM: The tissue of both breasts is heterogeneously dense. This may reduce the sensitivity of mammograp
never [62]

Answer:

Breast cancer is the second most common malignancy in the world and is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in women. There is no method to determine who will develop breast cancer at some time in their life. Some methods are available to detect the tumor early. One of those methods is mammography screening. The idea of this test is to find a lesion(s) in the breast that may correspond to a stage cancer as early as possible.

Explanation:

It is defined as screening in examining a group of people in order to detect a disease or people with a high risk of developing the disease. For a screening test to be effective and efficient, several requirements have to be met, for example, that the disease to be screened must have a significant incidence, the test must have a high sensitivity and specificity, the cost must be relatively low or affordable, The test should be easy to perform and with limited side effects and/or complications. In some countries, guidelines for screening breast cancer with mammography have been established, there is controversy over when to start screening, the recommended interval and to what age the screening was performed. Mammographic screening for women between 50 and 69 years of age is recommended globally.
