Considering the following;


I. Heat is not readily available to all living cells.


II. Heat at excessive amounts denatures proteins.


III. Heat does not provide the activation energy for their reactions.


IV. When a critical temperature is reached, proteins no longer function


Answer;


I and IV


Explanation;


Living cells cannot use heat to provide the activation energy for biochemical reactions because heat is not readily available to all living cells and also when a critical temperature is reached, proteins no longer function.


Too much heat can kill an organism by rendering its organelles, cells, tissues and organs permanently inoperable and un-salvageable. The same process can be observed in tissues at low temperatures, and is the cause of frostbite. This is because enzymes are denatured by high temperature and inactivated by low.

A strain of bacteria has a CRISPR-Cas system, but a mutation has destroyed the function of the Cas9 gene. How will the strain of
bogdanovich [222]

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.

To learn more about the Cas9 gene,
