How do you treat grease in bloodstream how did it get there and how much am i suppose to have what does it do to the body and how do I get rid of it?
If you have grease in your bloodstream, it had to have been injected. A person is not likely to notice it, though. Grease in a person's blood would likely require medical attention.
How isotopes can be used to study biological processes?
Isotopes can be injected into a person in order to make MRI / x-ray scans more accurate. When they inject an isotope into you (like say an iodine isotope) they can see exactly where that isotope goes throughout your body (through the blood vessels if injected or through your gastrointestinal tract if swallowed).
What are the 4 steps used to extract DNA?
This is an ambiguous question: are we talking about obtaining DNA samples from the person, are we talking about obtaining DNA from the specimen? Obtaining DNA from a person is as simple as swabbing the person's buccal mucosa, which is inside a person's cheek. Obtaining DNA from a specimen is a process by which DNA is extracted by using chemicals that emulsify the cells to extract the DNA, then centrifuging the mixture to extract it. The DNA is then pipetted into a radioactive gel that identifies each strand's DNA structure. The preparation is then x-rayed to reveal the unique DNA structure.
An injection to stop you getting a disease?
You are referring to a vaccination. Vaccinations work in one of two ways; either a very low active dose of the disease is injected or an inactive, killed variety is injected. In either case, these injections stimulate the body to make antibodies against the pathogen (virus or bacteria) so if it enters the body later, there is an 'army' of antibodies already armed and waiting for it, and the pathogen is quickly conquered before the person ever becomes ill. Many of these injections last over a lifetime; others may require booster injections later. An example of this is tetanus; a single tetanus shot is only good for about ten years. However, once you are inoculated against measles or have had the measles, you will never get this disease again. It depends on the pathogen in question.
