Describe how pregnancy tests sticks work.
Pregnant women produce a hormone called HCG, found in their urine. Monoclonal antibodies are found at the end of pregnancy test sticks. When a pregnant woman urinates on the stick, the monoclonal antibodies(specific to HCG) will bind to the HCG, which will cause a change in colour or pattern depending on the type of test kit.
