Biology
1 answer:
igomit [66]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

It forms from the surface downward toward the parent rock.

Explanation:

A typical soil does not form from the surface downward toward the parent rock.

Soil is formed by the weathering of the parent rock. During weathering, a rock is broken down into smaller fragments by chemical and physical means.

  • From the bedrock, as the disintegration proceeds, fine particles of earth are formed.
  • This in turn gets mixed with organic matter, water and air to form a full soil profile.
  • Soil takes a very long time to form.

Natalka [10]

Answer:

To solve this question, it is necessary to consider the number of protein structures that have been empirically verified and the number of Open reading frames predicted from sequencing data

Explanation:

The most common methodologies used to determine protein 3D structure are nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and X-ray crystallography. Although both methods are efficient, the determination of 3D protein structures in physiological conditions is a time and cost-consuming task. Moreover, due to recent advances in bioinformatics and sequencing methodologies, the amount of protein Open Reading Frames predicted from sequencing data (especially obtained from Next Sequencing Generation studies) is many times higher. Indeed, less than 5% of sequenced proteins have an empirically validated 3D structure.

) what basic principles of antibody-mediated immunity are utilized in an elisa assay
Komok [63]
<span>The most crucial principle of ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) is a highly specific antibody-antigen interaction.</span>
ELISA is a biochemical technique used to detect the presence of an antibody or an antigen in the biological sample. Simply described, in an ELISA, an antigen is immobilized on a solid surface and then a specific antibody is applied over the surface so that it can bind to the antigen. The antibody is usually linked to an enzyme, and in the final step, a substrate for that enzyme is added. The enzyme can convert it to some detectable signal, most commonly a color change. <span>Medical usage of ELISA is in the diagnosis of HIV infection, pregnancy tests, measurement of cytokines…</span>
