s to mosquito bites in the past. The reactions have been so severe she has even been skin tested, but the test came out negative. After the most recent bite, she went back to the doctor complaining of swelling at the site, dizziness, headache, and nausea. Benadryl is able to help relieve some symptoms. The doctor decides to try a blood test (i.e. ELISA based test) instead to test for allergies.

b. Which antibody would they be looking for specific in this case?
c. The doctors also ran an SDS-PAGE test using the patient's serum mixed with two different antigens: lane 1 - bee venom; lane 2 - mosquito venom. What do the results show regarding the patient’s allergies?

A new DNA strand elongates only in the 5' to 3' direction because _____.
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

d. DNA polymerase begins adding nucleotides at the 5' end of the template

Explanation:

Polymerase DNA always works in one direction, synthesizing the new 5' to 3' oriented chains and adding nucleotides to the 3' end of a new synthesis chain by forming phosphodiester bonds between the phosphate of a nucleotide and the sugar of the anterior nucleotide.  

Because DNA polymerase only acts in a 5' to 3' direction, replication along a chain, the leading chain, occurs continuously. The synthesis of the opposite chain, the delayed chain, occurs discontinuously because the DNA polymerase must wait for the replication fork to open. Over the delayed chain, short segments of DNA called Okazaki fragments (named after Reiji and Tsuneko Okazaki, the scientists who discovered these fragments) are synthesized as polymerase DNA works out of the replication fork. Ligase DNA catalyzes the covalent bonds between Okazaki fragments in the delayed chain to ensure there are no gaps in the phosphodiester skeleton. Finally, the first ones are removed and these gaps are filled by the DNA polymerase.

Paneth cells ________. A. are absorptive cells in the small intestine B. secrete enzymes that kill bacteria C. are located next
dedylja [7]

Answer:  B. secrete enzymes that kill bacteria

Explanation:

Paneth cells, so-called because they were first described by Dr. Josef Paneth in 1888, are pyramidal cells, with the nucleus in the basal position, and with large granules in the apical position. Its first isolated specific product was the lysozyme, a bactericidal substance, by Alexander Flemming. These cells play an important role in innate immunity in the small intestine, producing a wide diversity of antimicrobial peptides and enzymes such as lysozyme itself, cryptidines, defensins and a lectin with bactericidal properties.
