Transduction. This processes involves insertion of bacteriophage (viruses that infect bacteria) into the genome of a bacteria resulting to recombination. The bacteriophage DNA could contain virulent factors that convert an avirulent bacteria into a virulent type
1. heterozygous
2. fact because the color is passed down from the parents
3. This can happen because the trait is recessive and not dominate
4. A
5.A (i think)
6. traits are passed on through genes
<h2>CRISPR/Cas9</h2>
Explanation:
CRISPR can be used to reintroduce dystrophin back into the KO mouse
- CRISPR stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats and is used to for gene editing
- CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome editing has been shown to permanently correct DMD mutations and restore dystrophin function in mouse models
- Germline editing by injecting zygotes with CRISPR/Cas9 editing component was first done in mdx mice by correcting the mutated exon 23
- Postnatal editing of mdx mice was then achieved using recombinant adeno-associated virus to deliver CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing components and correct the dystrophin gene by skipping or deleting the mutated exon 23 in vivo
- Germline and postnatal CRISPR/Cas9 editing approaches both successfully restored dystrophin function in the mice and same technique can be used for KO mouse model
