Introduction
The gel electrophoresis method is used to separate the genetic material or PCR amplified products based on their molecular size, shape, and electrical charge. This technique helps to identify and isolate genes of interest or DNA fragments. Such DNA sequences are used to insert into donor organisms through vectors to create genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or serve as a template for PCR amplification or construction of the gene library. The electrophoresis technique is involved to evaluate PCR samples for clinical or genetic diagnosis. Also, it is used for the separation of restricted DNA or RNA samples before transfer in Southern blotting or Northern blotting, respectively.

- (more than 1 answer) Generally, which of the following methods could be used to detect the viral nucleic acid TRUST ELISA Neutralization test Southern blot RT-PCRarrow_forwardTopic: Microbiological Examination of Non-sterile Products 1. In an indicative test, donut-shaped dark pink colonies appeared. Interpretation: Rationale:arrow_forwardTell me 3 things about each one? are they selective , differential , positive , negative results etc. Acid fast staining Endospore staining simple stainarrow_forward
- In product testing, no colonies appeared. Interpretation: Rationale:arrow_forwardNo plagiarism i will double check If you want helpful rating submit a handwritten cursive answer tnx 2)Is liquid chromatography one of the current analytical methods in detecting porcine gelatin?Explain why.arrow_forwardTrue / False 1. Sterilization can penetrate most soil, so there is no need to clean a surgical instrument prior to sterilization. 2. One of the greatest challenges in infection control of reprocessed medical devices is a lack of consistent understanding of what the definition of "clean" is.arrow_forward
- Individual genetic maps in a given species are: genetically similar genetically identical genetically dissimilar not useful in species analysisarrow_forwardTRUE or FALSE only! 1. Pure cultures contain only a single species and no other organisms. 2. Pour plate method is done by pipetting liquified warm agar into a petri dish containing an inoculum. 3. Flaming the test tube’s mouth is necessary so that the moisture that accumulated will evaporate. 4. After Gram staining, the Gram positive bacteria will appear blue while the Gram negative bacteria will appear red.arrow_forwardI need help with just the answer. please 44) Which answer is better related to coliform group? Group of answer choices five different genera of bacteria airborne diseases don't belong to the family Enterobactericeae none 43) What are the methods can be considered to be used to identify unknown bacteria in the laboratory? Group of answer choices morphology of colonies biochemical tests Stain Methods all abovearrow_forward
- Can i get a help answering this question: The case study tells you that the HIV virus exits the cell by budding, but how can you tell that just based on the structure of the HIV virus? (see attached for the case study)arrow_forwardAverage plaques for bacteriophage A,B,C are 137,36,25. PFU/ml is average plaques multiply by the volume dilution multiply by the dilution factor. Show your working for each bacteriophage.arrow_forwardTell me 3 things about each one? are they selective , differential , positive , negative results etc. gram stain isolation streak ftm tubesarrow_forward
