A medical intervention that helps with eyesight
What is glasses?
Base pairs rules state that cytosine are paired with this.
What is guanine?
A substance produced by or derived from a microorganism and able in dilute solution to inhibit or kill another microorganism.
What is an antibiotic?
Mechanical energy that is transmitted by longitudinal pressure waves in a medium (such as water or air).
What is sound?
A harmless variant of a pathogen that stimulates a host's immune system to mount defenses against the pathogen.
What is a vaccine?
A person that studies the line of a disease and where it comes from.
What is a contact tracer?
A stepwise dilution of a substance in solution
What is a serial dilution?
Resistance to one or more antibiotics, usually due to additional genetic information.
What is antibiotic resistance?
A softer wave of frequency.
What is a low frequency wave.
A procedure that presents the immune system with a harmless variant of a pathogen, thereby stimulating the immune system to mount a long-term defense against the pathogen.
What is an x-ray
A protein secreted by plasma cells (differentiated B cells) that binds to a particular antigen and marks it for elimination.
What is an antibody?
A small ring of DNA that carries accessory genes separate from those of the bacterial chromosome.
What is a plasmid?
The three sections of the ear.
What is the inner, outer, and middle ear?
A degradative enzyme that recognizes specific nucleotide sequences and cuts up DNA.
What is a restriction enzyme.
A sudden rise in the incidence of a disease.
What is an outbreak?
A foreign macromolecule that does not belong to the host organism and elicits an immune response.
What is an antigen?
Tool you use on an agar plate.
What is an inoculating loop?
Hearing loss or impairment resulting from problems with the auditory nerves.
What is sensorineural hearing loss?
A branch of medical science that deals with the incidence, distribution, and control of disease in a population.
What is epidemiology?
Base pairs rules state that adenine is paired with this.
What is thymine?
The process by which the genetic makeup of the call is changed by the uptake of DNA from the environment.
What is bacterial transformation?
What is least resistant bacteria?
An electrical prosthetic device that enables individuals with sensorineural hearing loss to recognize some sounds and that consists of an external microphone and speech processor that receive and convert sound waves into electrical signals which are transmitted to one or more electrodes implanted in the cochlea where they stimulate the auditory nerve.
What is a cochlear implant?
Affecting an atypically large number of individuals within a population, community, or region at the same time.
What is an epidemic?
