PLTW Medical Interventions Unit 1 Questions with
Correct Answers
Medical Intervention Correct Answer-Any measure whose purpose is to
improve health or alter the course of disease
Medical interventions help maintain health and homeostasis in the body.
Pathogen Correct Answer-A specific causative agent of disease
Outbreak Correct Answer-A sudden rise in the incidence of a disease
Patient Symptoms/Risk Factors Organizer Correct Answer-Chart
detailing information about patients' symptoms and any part of their
lifestyle or background that may increase their risk for certain diseases.
Primer Correct Answer-Complimentary DNA segment that allows the
enzyme to bind to the DNA for DNA replication.
Bioinformatics Correct Answer-The collection, classification, storage,
and analysis of biochemical and biological information using computers
especially as applied in molecular genetics and genomics.
Genome Correct Answer-An organisms genetic material
PCR Amplification Correct Answer-Melt: Highest temp, separates
strands
, Anneal: Lowest temp, primers attach
Extend: Medium temp, DNA replicates (Polymerase)
Final Extension: Ten minutes at medium temp, ensure DNA has finished
replicating
DNA Sequencing Correct Answer-The DNA is placed in order by size
(smallest to largest) using gel electrophoresis or a similar method. It is
then tagged by color (using fluorescent markers on the stoppers of the
DNA) as to what nucleotide it represents. The nucleotides in size order
are the DNA sequence. The bacteria can be identified using BLAST
Solute Correct Answer-Substance dissolved in another substance
Solvent Correct Answer-A substance, usually a liquid, in which another
substance is dissolved.
Solution Correct Answer-A homogeneous mixture of two or more
substances. They may be in any state of matter.
Concentration Correct Answer-The amount of a specified substance in a
unit amount of another substance
Antibody Correct Answer-An antigen-binding immunoglobulin,
produced by B cells, that functions as the effector in an immune
response
