If mutation destroys the function of the Cas9 gene then the bacteria will not be able to target a specific bacteriophage for destruction upon infection for the second time.

<h3>What is the Cas9 gene?</h3>
  • Cas9 is a 160 kilodalton protein that plays a vital role in the immunological defense of certain bacteria against DNA viruses and plasmids and is heavily utilized in genetic engineering applications.
  • Its main function is to cut DNA and thereby alter a cell's genome.
  • Although Cas9 is an endonuclease and is evolved as a mechanism of immunity against viruses, they are not considered restriction enzymes.

Match the enzymes to their role in the DNA replication process.
Feliz [49]

The correct matching of enzymes and their role in the process of DNA replication is A- 3, B- 5, C-1, D-2 and E-4.

Replication is the process of synthesis of two indentical copies of DNA from a single DNA molecule. It is catalyzed by a set of enzymes with the following function-

A. RNA primase synthesizes an RNA primer (short sequence of RNA) on the lagging strand complementary to the single stranded DNA which acts as template during DNA replication.

B. Ligase is involved in joining the okazaki fragments on the lagging strand together and sealing the nicks of the DNA strand.

C. Helicase separates the two DNA strands at the replication fork.

D. Polymerase synthesizes the complementary daughter strand by adding nucleotides to DNA.

E. Topoisomerase relaxes the highly coiled DNA by creating nick ahead of the replication fork in the phosphate backbone of DNA strands.

cluponka [151]

Answer:

Of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in any normal human cell, the first 22 pairs provide directions for an individual's body and brain development. Scientists now estimate that about half of a person's personality traits and cognitive abilities can be traced to genetic influence and that psychological disorders arise from the interactions of many genes.

Explanation:

Chromosomes are small molecules that have the ability to carry all the genetic information needed to form a living being. These chromosomes are donated by an individual's parents and are used to form 23 pairs that determine all the internal and external characteristics of an organism. Among these 23 pairs, one pair will be responsible for determining the individual's gender, and the other 22 pairs will be responsible for the instructions that will make up the entire body and brain of the individual. Many scientists believe that chromosomes are responsible for even a part of a person's personality traits and that the genes they carry are directly related to the existence of psychological disorders.
