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
Q

How do I test for Starch

A

place some drops of iodine onto the sample. If it turns orange-brown to blue-black there is starch

26
Q

How do I test for sugar

A

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
Q

How do I test for Protein

A

Biuret test > drop drops of biuret solution which is blue > if it turns purple there is protein present

28
Q

What are uses of monoclonal antibodies

A

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
