1.1
This is a sudden increase in the incidence of a disease or disorder.
What is an outbreak?
This structure made of peptidoglycan is not present in human cells.
What is a cell wall?
This structure in the ear vibrates to transmit the signal into the cochlea.
What is the stapes?
This type of vaccine uses only a part of the pathogen.
What is a subunit vaccine?
This is the name of the (1) pathogen and (2) illness that affected Sue.
What is (1) Neisseria meningitidis and (2) bacterial meningitis?
These are three important symptoms of meningitis.
What are headache, high fever, neck pain, fatigue?
This class of antibiotics blocks an enzyme needed to produce folic acid in bacteria.
What are sulfonamids?
This type of hearing loss relates to damage or dysfunction in the cochlea and/or auditory nerve.
What is sensorineural?
When selecting a restriction enzyme for making recombinant DNA, these are two things that should be considered.
What are (1) formation of sticky ends, (2) only cutting plasmid once, (3) only cutting target gene on the ends, and (4) not cutting important regions of plasmid?
This antibiotic class inhibits the cross linking of peptidoglycan.
What are beta lactams or pencillins?
A stock solution has a concentration of 400 ng/mL. If you add 5 mL of 15 mL of diluent. This is the dilution factor and the new concentration.
What is 1/4 and 100 ng/mL?
What is an efflux pump?
What is conductive hearing loss?
This type of epidemiological study considers two groups (one with disease/disorder and one without) and looks for prior exposures or risk factors. It is often called a retrospective study.
What is a case control study?
What is bioinformatics?
This is the order of substances added in an indirect ELISA (like we did).
What is antigen - primary antibody - secondary antibody with enzyme - substrate?
This class of antibiotics binds to the ribosomal subunit to inhibit protein synthesis in the bacteria.
What are tetracyclines?
This is a visual representation of hearing derived from a pure tone test. The amplitude (dB) is on the y-axis and the frequency (Hz) is on the x-axis.
What is an audiogram?
This substance is used to join fragmented pieces of DNA in making recombinant DNA.
What is DNA ligase?
This type of cell lines the cochlea and produces nerve signals that can then be sent to the brain.
What are hair cells or stereocilia?
This is added to the PCR mix in DNA sequencing to produce fluorescently tagged variable length fragments.
What are ddNTPs?
The mechanism of horizontal gene transfer works only with competent bacteria cells.
What is transformation?
This type of invasive intervention is only appropriate for severe sensorineural hearing loss.
What is a cochlear implant?
This type of epidemiological study involves following a population over time. It is often called a prospective study.
What is a cohort study?
This type of vaccine uses a material produced by the pathogen. Examples include the vaccines for diphtheria and tetanus.
What is a toxoid vaccine?
