Cell lysis (lysis buffer + freezing and thawing)
What is the difference between innate and acquired immunity?
Innate - you are born with it (skin, mucus, etc). Not specific
Acquired - more specific, antibodies developed over your lifetime
Metabolic activity of bones
A type of gene that can mutate to become an oncogene
proto-oncogene
Name three diseases that result in fever, headaches, sore throat, and fatigue
flu, mono, bacterial meningitis
Method used to separate proteins based on the molecular size in order to identify and quantify them
Name 4 vaccines that are routinely given in childhood

How does a CT scan work?
A series of x-rays are taken and the images are combined
The most common type of skin cancer
Basal cell carcinoma
A technique used to determine the sequence of nucleotides in DNA
Sanger sequencing
Name any three amino acids
Alanine, Arginine, Asparagine, Aspartic Acid, Cysteine, Glutamic acid, Glutamine, Glycine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Proline, Serine, Threonine, Tryptophan, Tyrosine,Valine
What is the difference between active and passive immunity? Give an example of each.
Active: you make the antibodies yourself (vaccination, getting sick)
Passive: you get the antibodies from someone else (breastfeeding)
