QUESTION 5You are asked to recommend an antibiotic to treat potential pathogenicityt in an animal. Describe a method which will allow you to make this recommendation.
Question 24 pts When we are vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2, what happens? (select all correct answers) Group of answer choices a) Our adaptive immune system becomes primed to recognize the SARS-CoV-2 virus. b) Our DNA becomes modified. c) We will permanently have viral proteins in our cells d) Our cells will make a partial or complete viral protein, which our immune system will recognize as foreign. e) Memory cells will be ready for a new infection.
QUESTION 24 Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is of interest to evolutionary biologists because all of the following, EXCEPT: a. Phylogenetics allow us trace epidemics and transmission pathways. b. Evolution of the virus has led to drug resistance and the need for multidrug treatments. c. Population demography and disease transmission can differ between populations. d. Resistant alleles are maintained in high frequency due to high selective pressure of the disease.
Question 2. Retroviruses are used in gene therapy. The goal of gene therapy is to insert in the patient genome a copy of a functional gene that is defective in the patient. Since Retroviruses integrates their genome into the host genome they are ideal gene therapy delivery systems. What would be a potential risk of this type of treatment? The individual treated could be more susceptible to infection by other retroviruses Insertion of the retroviral genome into the host genome can cause dangerous mutations. There are not recognized risks with this gene therapy approach. Genes from the host can be inserted into the retroviruses and laterally moved to other cells.
QUESTION 27 Which of the following methods can be used to compare the amounts of one specific mRNA that is expressed by two different cell lines? A. Immunohistochemistry B. Western blotting C. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) D. Immunocytochemistry
QUESTION 2 ‘’Viruses cannot be grown in standard microbiological culture such as broth and agar. They need to be cultured in the presence of a suitable host such as prokaryotic cells (easiest to grow in the lab), plants and animals because they are unable to reproduce independently in living cells’’.2.1 Briefly, describe the advantages and disadvantages of cell culture. 2.2 What are the changes that are brought by a virus to a cell? In your response, make reference to the cytopathic effect (CPE).
Question (1)-Describe the three different methods of horizontal gene transfer among bacteria and mention their significance. Be specific when discussing the donor versus recipient cell, and if the donor and recipient cells are still alive after each horizontal gene transfer event is complete. *Please go into detail if possible on what the donor and recipient cells if they are still alive also after each gene transfer. I have a test coming up that I’m trying to learn all I can about this. Thank you so much!*
Question: Some scientists have concluded that this method of gene therapy will be a more effective long-term treatment for SCD than HSCT. Use all the information provided to evaluate this conclusion. I dont know how to answer this question pls help:(
question: Can you summarize and explain for me what you want to tell in the article below? Can you explain the figure? When I read it myself, I do not understand exactly what is meant by the article. It would be nice if you could highlight the important points. You can use them in a figure or diagram to explain. thank you and hava a nice day :) Article: Nanotechnology Tools to Detect SARS-CoV-2 Standard procedures for detecting the virus from nasopharyngeal and/or oropharyngeal swabs have been reviewed recently and are primarily based on reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Here, we would like to mention some preliminary ideas on nanotechnology-based assays to monitor the presence of SARS-CoV-2. A simplified test and variants thereof to detect viral proteins (e.g., HIV or influenza virus) without the need for expensive equipment is based on the color change of Au NPs bound to antibodies. Similar to the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) antibodies coupled…
QUESTION 16 Match the definitions and key words with the group name (programmed or stochastic). From the drop down boxes, choose the correct letter (A -- Programmed or B -- Stochastic). Celluar Aging: suggesting that the lifespan of a species is determined by an internal cellular "clock" that limits the number of cell divisions. Immune System: suggesting that aging is due to a break-down in the body's natural defense system against bacteria, viruses, and other substances. Error Theory: suggesting that errors at the cellular level produce "faulty" molecules. Evolutionary theory: suggesting that aging is a natural way to limit the reproductive potential and timespan of members of a species. Wear and Tear: suggesting that like a battery or a machine, the human…

SARS-CoV-2 is expected to be similarly sensitive. Several human coronaviruses can be inactivated by classical disinfectants, including bleach, ethanol, povidone-iodine, chloroxylenol, chlorheximide, and benzalkonium chloride, so we expect similar inactivation with SARS-CoV-2. The virus stability on surfaces…
