What type of laboratory testwould NOT be conducted if you suspect a patient has contracted plague?
When the plague happened there were no labs or testing. They didn't know or understand the transmission of disease or anything about virus and disease.
What type of laboratory tests would you conducted if you suspect a patient has contracted plague?
Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry would not be conducted. The first thing that would happen if plague is suspected is immediate isolation. Contact with an infected patient needs to be minimized and the hospital needs to be equipped to handle that patient.

The laboratory procedure for copying selected segments of DNA is?
The laboratory process used to copy specific segments of DNA is called the Polymerase Chain Reaction (or PCR)

Can molecules break apart into atoms during a chemical change?
No, being that atoms are only divisible under special spectrometry conditions in a laboratory.

How does PCR selectively amplify stretches of DNA?
The PCR or Polymerase Chain Reaction is a laboratory system for DNA replication and amplificiation. It allows selected stretches of DNA to be duplicated using heat in the process.
What is a method of making many copies of DNA?
Polymerase chain reaction

Differences between DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase?
A polymerase is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of free nucleotides into a single strand. DNA polymerase differs from RNA polymerase in two major respects: * Like all enzymes, DNA polymerase is substrate-specific. DNA polymerase cannot extend a single strand of DNA; it needs at least a short segment of double-stranded DNA at the outset. * As its name implies, DNA polymerase incorporates deoxyribonucleotides into the new strand. RNA polymerase incorporates ribonucleotides. These differences mean that DNA polymerase is active when new DNA strands are formed, as in DNA replication, and RNA polymerase is active when new RNA is formed, as in transcription. Before DNA replication can begin, the two strands must uncoil, so that each can form a template for free nucleotides to attach to. But DNA polymerase cannot get started with a single strand! In vivo(in the cell) RNA polymerase, which is active in the presence of single-stranded DNA, catalyzes the incorporation of a handful of nucleotides into a new strand. The short length of double-stranded nucleic acid that is produced enables DNA polymerase to swing into action. This still leaves a potential difficulty: the nucleotides incorporated in the presence of RNA polymerase are the wrong sort (ribonucleotides). They are subsequently replaced by DNA polymerase. In vitro (during PCR, the polymerase chain reaction) a primer, specially synthesized in a laboratory, attaches to a specific segment of single-stranded DNA, and the DNA polymerase takes over from there. The primer consists of a short length of single-stranded DNA that uniquely complements a specific DNA segment that is targeted for amplification, for example for forensic analysis.In practice, there are several different DNA polymerases and RNA polymerases in an organism.
