Fire and Mello conducted an experiment where they added no gene X RNA (b), anti-sense gene X RNA (c) or double stranded gene X RNA (d) to C. elegans embryos. They then did a hybridization experiment examining gene X mRNA levels in the embryo. Square (a) is a no probe control. How does this act as a control?

You are given an electron micrograph of a bacterial cell. in the micrograph you can clearly see three thin layers of different densities surrounding the cell. based on the micrograph, you can infer that this cell is and would appear after application of the gram stain procedure. gram-negative / pink gram-positive / purple gram-positive / pink gram-negative / purple
