Why are stem cells useful

A

They are useful because they can clones cells

18
Q

What is a gene

A

A gene is a section of DNA which controls part of a cell’s chemistry - particularly protein production

19
Q

What is a chromosome

A

A chromosome is a molecule made up of many coiled up sections of DNA

20
Q

What is DNA

A

deoxyribonucleic acid, is the molecule that contains the instructions for growth and development of all organisms

21
Q

What shape is DNA

A

DNA is a polymer made up of two strands forming a double helix

22
Q

Ways the Xylem is adapted for it’s role

A

It is made up of dead cells that are hollow

23
Q

Ways the Phloem are adapted for it’s role

A

Very few cub cellular structures

24
Q

What is Therapeutic cloning

A

Therapeutic cloning is a process that produces an embryo with genes that are identical to the patient’s - which means that the patient’s body will not reject the cells

25
How do I test for Starch
place some drops of iodine onto the sample. If it turns orange-brown to blue-black there is starch
26
How do I test for sugar
Prepare the food sample > drop a few drops of benedict's solution onto the sample > keep the sample heated in a water bath > if the solution turns form blue to brick red there is sugar
27
How do I test for Protein
Biuret test > drop drops of biuret solution which is blue > if it turns purple there is protein present
28
What are uses of monoclonal antibodies
They can be used for pregnancy tests as when dyed they can bind to the hormones of pregnancy presenting a result / they can be used for cancer diagnosis as they bind onto the antigens of the cancer cell locating it
