Q

What does rose black spot do?

A

causes leaves to develop purple or black spots which turn yellow and fall off

62
Q

How does purple and black spots from Rose black spots affect plants?

-remove and destroy infected plants

65
Q

What is vaccination?

A

introducing small quantities of dead or inactive forms of a pathogen into the body

66
Q

why cant a vaccination lead to the disease?

A

the pathogen is dead or inactive

67
Q

what happens when vaccination is given to patient? x2

A

-white blood cell produces antibodies against pathogen
-at same time white blood cell divides by mitosis

68
Q

What happens if the same pathogen returns after vaccination given?

A

white blood cell produce correct antibodies

69
Q

What is herd immunity?

A

when an unvaccinated person cannot catch a disease as everyone around them is vaccinated

70
Q

What pathogen does antibiotics kill?

A

bacteria

71
Q

what do antibiotics do?

treat symptoms of disease

Q

What are specific bacteria treated with?

A

pregnancy testing

94
Q

why are monoclonal antibodies used in location?

A

To find specif molecule in cell or tissue

95
Q

How are monoclonal antibodies used for finding location of specific molecules in cells and tissue?

A

attached to fluorescent dye
