Please HELP I will give 85 points and Brainliest. Develop a logical argument about whether to use CRISPR/Cas9 to edit the human
Simora [160]

Answer:

CRISPR-Cas9 is a DNA modification technique derived from a bacterial defense mechanism.

This breakthrough innovation allows the deletion and insertion of genes in a simple, fast and efficient way, much like "DNA scissors".

The CRISPR-Cas9 method is increasingly used in laboratories because it has several advantages over the DNA cutting enzymes developed before it.

First advantage, it is much easier to use (compared to other gene-editing tools). It has already allowed several teams of researchers to target several genes at once, including in human cells.

Other major advantages resulting from the simplicity of the system: its speed and its low cost. The CRISPR-Cas9 method takes only a few days (instead of a few months) and is at least ten times less expensive than those used before.

CRISPR-Cas9 is therefore a tool of disconcerting ease to modify the genome of many types of cells (to produce a protein for example), in bacteria, plants, animals and perhaps one day in humans.

_______ is located in the anterior neck produces key hormones for metabolism
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

THYROID GLAND

Explanation:

Thyroid gland functions in metabolisms by activities of thyroid cells.This cells  withdraws  Iodine from metabolites and combine it with amino acid tyrosine  for  productions of Thyroid hormones:

ThyroxineT3,(20%)

TriiodothyronineT4(80%). This production is under the influence of Thyroid stimulating hormones,regulated by the pituitary gland,

T3 and T4  increase calorinogenesis, (liberation of heat from digestion to supply energy,and oxygen consumption of the heart.)

Deficiency of thyroid hormones are goiters, hypothyroidism, and hyperthyroidism

The difference between generalized and specialized transduction is:___________
Rzqust [24]

Answer: option D

In generalized transduction, any DNA can be moved while in specialized transduction certain DNA from the phage site is moved.

Explanation:

Transduction is the process where foreign DNA is added to a cell by a virus or viral vector.

Transduction is divided into two, generalized and specialized.

Generalized transduction is a process where any DNA can be transferred by the virus in the cell while specialized transduction is a process where a fragment of the DNA near the phage site can be moved.
