Explanation / Answer

18.

The correct option is true.

The National Library of Medicine has a databank called GenBank that has deposited in it the DNA sequences of numerous genes isolated from known bacterial species is true.

19.

The correct answer is option (a)

The pathogen in your sample is:

Enterobacter sakazakii

BLAST is basic local alignment search tool. It gives the information regarding the unknown sequence by matching it with the known and sequenced organisms. As the unknown sequence shows 99.9% matching or similarity the given pathogen is Enterobacter sakazakii.
