The disease that the doctor should suspect and the infectious agent causes this disease.
Concept introduction:
Disease is defined as an abnormal condition of the body that disrupts important physical and physiological function of the body. Disease is caused by improper diet, lack of exercise, various infectious agents that are present in nature, toxic substances, genetic disorders, and depression, stress play a role in illness and disturbs normal functioning of the body.

- Molecular Biology Question You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas. What is the most likely explanation for this result?arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Explain/discuss how “slow stop” and “quick/fast stop” mutants wereused to identify different protein involved in DNA replication in E. coli.arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Question A gene that codes for a protein was removed from a eukaryotic cell and inserted into a prokaryotic cell. Although the gene was successfully transcribed and translated, it produced a different protein than it produced in the eukaryotic cell. What is the most likely explanation?arrow_forward
