A team of scientists placed five rocks in five separate, artificial environments. All the rocks came from the same formation and

had the same chemical composition. The table describes the environment for each rock:
Rock A Rock B Rock C Rock D Rock E
intermittent rain showers
temperatures alternating between -2°C and 20°C
frequent acidic showers that contain carbonic acid covered with algae and lichen placed in an oxygen-rich environment
hot and dry environment
low temperature of 35°C

After the experiment, the scientists observed that one particular rock had large fractures and had split into two pieces. They also observed that, compared to the other rocks, the chemical composition of this particular rock had remained largely unchanged. Which rock most likely fits this description?

A.
Rock A
B.
Rock B
C.
Rock C
D.
Rock D
E.
Rock E

Answer:

Explanation:

A cancer is a disease condition in which all the cells in the body continuous divide without control.

A tumor is when the uncontrolled cells growth occur in solid tissues like organs, tissues and bones in the body.

A tumor is formed when lump is developed in your body.

A tumor can become cancerous but not all.

Only malignant tumor are cancerous i.e they contain cancerous cells and can spread to all part of the body.

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>

Concept map: how do different types of molecules pass through membranes
zlopas [31]
The cell membrane is semi permeable in nature, that is, it allows the passage of some substances while it disallows some substances. Small and non polar molecules pass quite easily through the cell membrane but large and polar molecules can not do this. 
The substances which can easily pass through the cell membranes make use of passive transports such as diffusion and facilitated diffusion to enter the cells while substances which can not pass through the cell membranes on their own make use of active transport. Examples of active transport are endocytosis and ectocytosis,
