What is bioinformatics? - 🔷ANSWERS 🖊✔✔ Bioinformatics is collecting, classifying, storing, and analyzing information. How can DNA sequences be used to identify disease pathogens? - 🔷ANSWERS 🖊 ✔✔DNA sequences are ran through a website or BLAST. The DNA is compares the sequence to the human genome. What is an antibody? - 🔷ANSWERS 🖊✔✔ An antibody is what responds to the immune response that is the antigen. The primary antibody binds with the specific antigen during ELISA.

There are four different kinds of antibiotic and they each do something different to kill the bacteria. Penicillin - 🔷ANSWERS 🖊✔✔ disrupt making the bacterial cell wall Tetracycline - 🔷ANSWERS 🖊✔✔ prevent attachment of RNA to ribosomes, prevents protein production Fluoroquinolone - 🔷ANSWERS 🖊✔✔ separates the DNA strands, prevent DNA replication Sulfonamide - 🔷ANSWERS 🖊✔✔ prevents the production of folic acid, the building block of DNA What methods do bacteria use to share antibiotic resistance? - 🔷ANSWERS 🖊✔✔ There are 3 different ways bacterial cells share resistance :
