Document Summary
After completing this exam, you may not take the exam paper with you. This test consists of a total of 30 multiple-choice questions, and is worth 30% of the final course grade. Choose the one best or most appropriate answer. Jenner realized that smallpox inoculation under the skin was much safer and induced protection. A: louis pasteur made several contributions to the progress of microbiology. He made the discoveries listed below with the exception of: mycobacteria tuberculosis as the causal agent of tuberculosis, fermentation as a process caused by microorganisms, the disproval of spontaneous generation of microorganisms, the first rabies vaccine. A: paul ehrlich theorized that antitoxins interact with toxins through a lock and key" type of interaction. 2: the ability of lymphocytes to rearrange the genes encoding the antigen receptor based on the recognition of key dna sequences, a and b are both correct.
