Explanation:

CRISPR has been used to experiment with gene-edited mosquitos to reduce the spread of malaria, for engineering agriculture to withstand climate change, and in human clinical trials to treat a range of diseases, from cancer to transthyretin amyloidosis, a rare protein disorder that devastates nerves and organs.

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

is bound to the constant region of the secondary antibody.

Explanation:

Enzyme immunoassays are the techniques used to detect the presence of antigens with the help of antibodies. Each of the antibody molecules has a constant and variable region.

The primary antibodies are added to the wells. The constant region of the secondary antibody is bound to an enzyme while its variable region is free so that it can bind to the specific antigen.

Addition of substrate to the system is followed by visualization and/or evaluation of antigen as the reaction between enzyme and substrate produce some visible changes such as color change.

Spherocytosis is a human blood disorder associated with a defective cytoskeletal protein in the red blood cells (rbcs). what do
Alex17521 [72]
In spherocytosis, there is a defect in the membrane proteins of the red blood cells, specifically ankyrin and spectrin. These membrane proteins contribute to the biconcave shape of red blood cells therefore the loss of these proteins will lead the red blood cells to lose its biconcave shape--leading to abnormally shaped red blood cells (spheres) hence the name. This can lead to premature destruction of red blood cells and jaundice due to hyperbilirubinemia. Spherocytes do not hold oxygen and carbon dioxide well as spherocytes have a decreased surface area.

Anika [276]

A solid minute object that is said to come together for the formation of the planet and are believed to produce cosmic dust are called planetesimal.

The options that best describes the planetesimals are:

  • Option A. They are the origins of planets.

  • Option B. They formed from gas and dust.

  • Option D. They are believed to have developed in debris disks.

The descriptions can be explained as:

  • It is believed that planets formation occurred through planetesimals. The formation happened from gas, dust particles and debris.

  • By the process of accretion, the discs coalesced and became bigger and solid over time. This bigger mass started attracting other matters towards each other because of gravitational force.

  • This pull resulted in either breaking or creation a bigger mass of pieces known as planetesimals. The collision continued to become bigger and solid planets we know today.

Therefore, options A, B and D are correct.
