How do you calculate Specificity and sensitivity?

How to calculate specificity?, please specify ^^


Find the area of an object?

The answer very much depends on the object. There are many formulas for areas of many common objects. Sometimes there is not formula and you must approximate it. Unfortunately, the question lacks enough specificity to be answered.


Why cannot the uncertainty of a measurement be zero?

Any instrument with which you measure can only have a finite degree of specificity, and you will always have error within that degree of specificity. For example, using a meter stick that includes centimeters and millimeters, and the human eye a person can measure the length a stick, and by looking at the millimeter marks decide if the length is closer to 3.4 centimeters or 3.3 centimeters. In actuality, the length is something in between, but the person can only report what they see, so if the end of the stick is closer to 3.4 than 3.3, they will say 3.4. In this case, the error is .05 cm (or .5 mm) because you can only detect lengths as being more or less than halfway between two mm marks. A better ruler might have marks between the mm marks. You could imagine someone with really great vision who could see .1 mm on this special ruler. So they might be able to tell that the stick is closer to 3.43 cm than 3.44 cm, but that's as precise of a decimal as they could report, because the measuring instrument (the ruler) only includes marks for .1 mm (or .01 cm). The maximum error in this case would be .005 cm (or .05 mm) because the person can tell the stick is less than halfway between 3.43 and 3.44, but cannot decipher more than that. Any measuring instrument, not jut rulers, comes with a finite level of specificity. The maximum error is half of that level of specificity. A scale that reports weight only in whole pounds would have maximum error of .5 lbs, while a scale that reports weight in tenths of a pound would have a maximum error (or uncertainty of measurement) of .05 lbs.


Does the last nucleotide in a codon have less specificity than the others and if so why?

Yes, this is true (generally speaking). In many cases there are two different codons that differ at the third position yet code the same amino acid. I hypothesize that the reason that this is so is that nature has naturally selected the codons to be resistant to certain transition and transversion mutations. transition mutation = purine to purine or pyrimidine to pyrimidine transversion mutation = purine to pyrimidine or pyrimidine to purine


What is the reciprocal of -1?

The reciprocal of 1 is 1. Proof: a. 1*(1/1) = 1 because a*(1/a) = 1 b. 1*1 =1 because 1*a = a c. 1/1 = 1 compare a. and b.

Is serratia marcescens dnase positive or negative?

Serratia genus as a whole is dnase positive.


Why 1M of HCL is used in Dnase test?

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is used in DNase tests to denature proteins that may inhibit the enzyme DNase. By denaturing proteins, the HCl helps to create an environment that is more conducive for the DNase enzyme to work effectively in degrading DNA. Using 1M of HCl provides an optimal concentration for denaturing proteins without affecting the stability and activity of DNase.


Describe a positive DNase test?

A positive DNase test indicates the presence of DNase enzyme, which degrades DNA molecules. This is detected by a clear zone around the bacterial growth on DNase agar plate after adding a DNase indicator dye. The clear zone indicates that DNA in the medium has been hydrolyzed, suggesting the bacteria has the ability to produce DNase enzyme.


Does human hands contain DNAse enzyme?

Yes, human hands contain DNAse enzymes. DNAse enzymes are involved in breaking down and degrading DNA molecules. In the human body, DNAse enzymes can be found in various tissues and cells, including skin cells in the hands.


What is the reagent used to test Dnase test?

There are no reagents added when a Dnase test is performed. The test is done in a methyl green medium with a pure inoculum culture. If halos form around the culture than Dnase is present.


Does DNase affect RNA?

Yes, DNase can affect RNA because it specifically targets and degrades DNA molecules. If RNA is contaminated with DNA, DNase treatment can help remove the DNA, but it will not affect the RNA molecules themselves.


What are the different types of enzyme specificity with examples?

Enzymes exhibit different types of specificity, including substrate specificity (acting on a specific substrate), stereospecificity (acting on a specific stereoisomer), and regiospecificity (acting at a specific region of a substrate). For example, trypsin exhibits substrate specificity by cleaving peptide bonds after lysine or arginine residues, while lactase exhibits substrate specificity by hydrolyzing lactose.


Role of EDTA in DNA isolation?

it is chealeting agent and has great affinity with metal ions and mg- ions present in dnase as a cofactor and responsible for dnase action that degreded DNA hear edta bide with mg- ions and stop the action of dnase.

Why is the DNase test only incubated for 24 hrs?

The DNase test is incubated for 24 hours because this is enough time for the enzyme DNase to degrade any DNA present in the agar. Prolonged incubation can lead to false negative results due to the breakdown of the DNA substrate.
