This part of the Microscope magnifies objects 4X, 10X and 40X.
What is the objective lens?
A lab technique that separates molecules by size and charge.
What is electrophoresis?
These are small circular molecules of DNA, separate from main DNA, found in prokaryotes.
What are plasmids?
This is a procedure of making copies of
specific DNA sequences in the lab.
What is PCR?
These are populations of microorganisms inhabiting the human body in the intestines.
What is microflora?
One would use this in the lab to distribute 325 microliters to inoculate a sample.
What is a micropipette?
The negatively charged DNA in gel electrophoresis will travels toward this charge?
What is a positive charge?
These are a type of white blood cell that makes infection-fighting proteins called antibodies.
What are B-Cells?
This is a programmable heating block that can quickly
establish and keep given temperature.
What is a thermocycler?
Fats and oils produce a biofuel known as this.
What is Biodiesel?
To measure the quantity of light absorbed by a sample, one would use this machine.
What is a spectrophotometer?
This is the most common mutation and has no effect on the proteins.
What is silent mutation?
This is an example of an ELISA assay.
What is a At-Home Covid Test?
This is the most genetically modified food in grocery stores.
What is SOY?
This is the most common source of biofuel.
What is corn?
Name this gelatinous substance used in culture media.
What is agar?
This is used to visualize the DNA bands under UV light.
What is SYBR safe?
These are lighter, less dense particles after centrifuging a sample.
What is supernatant?
This immunoglobulin is mostly seen in Biotechnology.
What is IgG?
This type of bioremediation is collecting the polluted material and sending it for decontamination to a separate location.
What is ex-situ?
These are documents that list information used in occupational safety and health hazards for various substances and products.
What are Safety Data Sheets?
This process is done on an agar plate with a sterile loop to obtain individual colonies.
What is streak plating?
These are the denser or heavier particles that go to
the bottom of a sample after centrifugation.
What is a pellet?
This is the name for the number of cotyledons, or embryonic leaves, found in the seed embryo—they have two.
What is a Dicot?
Gram positive bacteria, due to a thick layer of peptidoglycan within the cell wall, will be this color after Gram's Staining.
What is Purple?
