Answer: Detection of antibodies or antigens (e.g., HIV test).
- A Determining the order of nucleotide bases in DNA
- B Detection of antibodies or antigens (e.g., HIV test)
- C Culturing bacterial colonies on agar plates
- D Separating DNA fragments by molecular size
Correct answer: B. Detection of antibodies or antigens (e.g., HIV test)
Explanation: ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) detects specific antigens or antibodies. Used for HIV, hepatitis, pregnancy tests.
Recombinant DNA technology: a gene of interest and plasmid are cut by the same restriction enzyme, ligated into a recombinant plasmid, and introduced into a host cell.
Concept context
