True story: In East Aurora, New York at an acupuncture clinic, a woman offered Covid-19 tests. When people called to make appointments, she told people (including myself) they could use the test to detect if they currently had Covid-19 and were contageious. However, people found out she was using a test that would not work for that! She got shut down and in a lot of trouble for false advertising/ false test results.

She most likely was using which test? (make sure it is also properly matched to what it tests for)

When a virus or bacteria enters our body, our immune system kicks into gear! Put the following events in the order which they occur to provide use with immunity if the virus enters our body in the future.

1. Plasma B cells produce antibodies that recognize the spike proteins and attack them when they enter the body
2. Macrophages phagocytize (swallow) the fat coated RNA make its spike proteint to present it for other cells to recognize as foreign
3. B cells differentiate into plasma B cells and memory B cells
4. Helper T cells produce cytokines that act as an alarm for other immune cells to gear up for action and come to the scene

The normal function of the kidneys is to filter the blood and produce urine. Urine eliminates waste products from the body. When these wastes are not removed, they build up in the body and cause a toxic condition known as ureic poisoning. Polycystic kidney disease(PKD) is an inherited disease of the kidneys. Individuals with PKD develop large cysts on their kidneys. If Band 8 in Sample F represents the mutated gene that causes PKD, which other DNA samples may be of people who will most likely develop cysts on their kidneys?
