In Arabidopsis thaliana, the Flowering Locus C (FLC) gene codes for a regulatory protein that suppresses flowering. FLC is expre

ssed in seedlings to prevent premature flowering. In mature plants, FLC expression decreases with cooler temperatures, and flowering occurs once sufficiently cool temperatures are reached. If small-interfering RNA (siRNA) that is complementary to FLC mRNA is introduced, how would RNA interference (RNAi) affect flowering?

Answer:

RNA interference would degrade the FLC mRNA and instigate flowering.  

The RNA interference refers to a molecular process, which is used by the cells to prevent the expression of any specific gene, that is, by not continuing the process of translation of mRNA. This can be done with the assistance of micro-RNAs or siRNAs.  

The function of the siRNA primarily relies upon its tendency of binding with RISC or RNA-induced silencing complex. Once it combines with RISC, the unwinding of the double-stranded RNA occurs and is succeeded by the cleavage of the sense strand. This is attained with the activity of endonucleases over it. The left antisense strand will mediate the RISC factor towards mRNA for preventing its transcription, and thus, silencing it.

A food handler who fails to report illness to the person in charge could cause a physical contamination?
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Physical contamination are foreign objects such as hair, fingernails, broken glasses , jewelries etc that are mixed with food. Although, it is important for a food handler who realizes that he is sick such as having fever, jaundice,wound while working to report such to his supervisor or manager,who will then take necessary action and to avoid risk of contamination; yet not the only cause of physical food contamination.

Physical contamination does not necessarily have to occur until the food handler is sick. It could be as a result of carelessness or not paying attention enough by the food handler . Physical contamination might not at all times cause injury or illness to the customer, yet such could bring discomfort to a customer who notices foreign objects in his food while eating. To avoid risk of physical food contamination, it is important for food handlers to keep jewelries to a minimum, wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly, wear hear neatly tied back, throw out and replace cracked, chipped, or broken dishware, glassware and equipment amongst others.
