Question

Looking at your results from the molecular evidence lab, what do you think would have happened if you forgot to add the detection antibodies to all five of the wells?

Multiple Choice
O The well with the human proteins still would have turned dark blue but the wells with the unknown samples would have stayed clear.
O The results would have still turn out as expected.
O All five wells would have turned dark blue.
O All five wells would have stayed clear

Answer 1

Without the detection antibodies, all wells in the molecular evidence lab would likely stay clear, as they are necessary for triggering the color change that indicates the presence of proteins.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you forgot to add the detection antibodies to all five of the wells in your molecular evidence lab, it is very likely that all five wells would have stayed clear.

The reason for this is that the detection antibodies are necessary to bind to the proteins and enable the color change when the substrate is added in an assay. Without these antibodies, there is nothing to bind to the protein and trigger the color change, making it impossible to determine if the proteins are present.
