A young woman was going on a walk through the woods when she felt a mosquito bite her. She has a history of large local reaction

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.
Required:
a. What is an ELISA test and how is it done?
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?
d. Why are there two dark blue bands in lane 2?
e. Describe what happens during this specific type of allergic reaction.

How are eukaryotic cells different from prokaryotic cells?
avanturin [10]

Answer:

Prokaryotic cell:

Prokaryotic cell do not have the nucleus and their DNA is present in the cytoplasm. The membrane bound cell organelle are absent in the prokaryotic cells. The ribosome of prokaryotic cell is 70'S. Transcription and translation is coupled in prokaryotic cells.

Eukaryotic cells:

Eukaryotic cell have well defined nucleus and their DNA is present inside the nucleus. The membrane bound cell organelle are present in the eukaryotic cells. The ribosome of eukaryotic cell is 80'S. Transcription and translation is not coupled and takes place in separate compartments in eukaryotic cells.

How many amino acids differ between the monkey and the human sequences?
Gwar [14]

Answer:

8 amino acids differ between the monkey and the human sequences.

Explanation:

The genome mapping has now made it possible to identify genes that are present on a chromosome. Genetic mapping is also being used to study the similarities between organisms which has helped a lot to understand the evolutionary history among organisms and to assemble the phylogenetic lineages.

Scientists have found the genome of the monkeys to be the most similar to humans with a difference of just 8 amino acids between them. Hence, justifying the hypothesis that humans have evolved from monkeys.

QUESTION 1
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

According to the sliding-filament model of contraction, the muscle contraction occur due to the myosin heads propel the actin myofilaments toward the center of the sarcomere. This pulls the Z disks closer together, shortening  sarcomere and the entire muscle

Explanation:

In the muscle fiber there are two proteins that facilitate the process of contraction, myosin and actin. Myosin is thicker and more abundant than actin, and its interaction is responsible for the process of muscle contraction.

Both molecules, myosin and actin, form bonds -called cross bridges- where the myosin heads produce the mobilization of actin towards the center of the sarcomere. Z discs are associated with actin myofibrils, so they come close, and promote the shortening of the sarcomere.

This process requires the action of calcium ions, which depolarize the muscle cell and consume energy in the form of ATP.

It should be noted that the myosin and actin molecules do not change their length, but their action causes the muscle fibers to shorten during contraction.
