Answer:

<em>Some enzymes help break large molecules into smaller pieces that are more easily absorbed by the body. Other enzymes help bind two molecules together to produce a new molecule. Enzymes are highly selective catalysts, meaning that each enzyme only speeds up a specific reaction.</em>

Explanation:

The DNA could be dried -through the process of lyophilization- or stored, as a precipitate of ethanol, in liquid nitrogen (temperatures below -80 degrees Celsius). The aim is to reduce water in the stored samples as much as possible because the water can be involved in natural hydrolytic reactions (depurination, depyrimidination, deamination, and hydrolytic cleavage) that could degrade the nucleic acids of the DNA.

If the DNA is stored while being used regularly it is not advisable to store it as a precipitate of ethanol. It should be stored in aqueous form but in a slightly alkaline pH of about 8.5 to prevent acid-catalysed degradation processes.

Edward Jenner’s smallpox inoculation experiment was based on an observation by a dairymaid that she could not get smallpox becau

Edward Jenner inferred that a person who once had small pox cannot have it once again. So something is there in these persons which grows after the initial infection which interferes with the secondary infection resisting it.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Edward Jenner is called the Father of Vaccination. Jenner noticed that the milkmaids who deal with the cows all the time don't generally suffer from the cowpox or small pox. Then as an Experiment, he took some sample from the pustules of the cow having pox and then cleaned it and injected the sample into a healthy child. Then when everyone of the locality suffered from the same disease, that child remained healthy. So that lead to infer that there are something in the pustule which lead to resist the secondary infection of this disease. So this lead to the invention of vaccines.
