* There have been times when naval vessels have collided with uncharted seamounts

* Seamounts can grow large enough to become an oceanic island

* Seamounts are usually in archipelagos, or groups of  seamounts or island  surrounded by a body of water

The CRISPR/Cas9 system can cleave genomic DNA at sequences other than the desired target, a phenomenon referred to as off target
Deffense [45]

Answer:

The minimum length of a sgRNA sequence to avoid off target cleavage by the CRISPR/Cas system in the fly fruit genome is 14 bases

Explanation:

We are trying to use the CRISPR/Cas system to cleavage the genome of the fruit fly (which is 1.4x10^8 bp long). Also we desire the cleavage to be unique. That means we need a target sequence long enough to be able to assume it will only appear once in the genome.

First, we should think that in every position, we can find one out of four different nucleotide (A, C, T, G). So, the probability of getting a sequence of a given length "n" will be (1/4)^n (We are assuming that the probability of finding a nucleotide in the position "i", it's independent of the nucleotide we find in any other position "j").

Also, to know how many times a sequence will appear in a genome (the expected value of occurrence), we must multiply the probability of that sequence to randomly occur by the length of the genome. For our specific example, the number of occurence of a sequence of length "n" is:

nºoccurence=[(1/4)^n]*1.4*10^8

But in this case, what we want is the expected number of times the sequence will appear to be 1, and we want to obtain the length of the target sequence (n).

Given the information above, we know that:

[(1/4)^n]*1.4*10^8 =1

[(1/4)^n]=(1/1.4*10^8)=1.4*10^-8

Then, if we want to calculate n, we can use logarithms and its properties to get:

log[(1/4)^n]=log[1.4*10^-8]

n*log[(1/4)]=log[1.4*10^-8]

n=log[1.4*10^-8]/log[(1/4)] => n=13.29 approximately.

As the sequence needs to have a natural number of elements, <u>we can conclude that using a target sequence of a minimum of 14 bases with the CRISPR/Cas system in the fly fruit genome should be enough to avoid off target cleavage.</u>

Scientists have found that extracellular matrix components may induce specific gene expression in embryonic tissues such as the
serg [7]

Scientists have found that extracellular matrix component may induce specific gene expression in the embryonic tissues such as the liver and testes. For this to happen, there must be a direct communication between the extracellular matrix and the developing cells. The Integrins of transmembrane protein would most likely be involved in this kind of induction.

Integrins are the main principal receptors used by the cells of  animal to bind to the matrix of extracellular. They are heterodimers and they function as transmembrane linkers between the actin cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix. A cell can regulate the sticky activity of its integrins from within.

Tapeworms can reproduce by _____.<br> budding<br> fission<br> fragmentation
Tema [17]
Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction or rather an asexual reproduction common in most prokaryotes.
This function happens when the organism divides itself producing another replica of its genetic material and now altogether as the organism itself.
