An organism is discovered that thrives in both the presence and absence of oxygen. Interestingly, as oxygen is removed from the

organism's environment, the rate of sugar consumption increases while the growth rate decreases. What do these observations suggest about the likely identity of this organism?

Answer:

It is a facultative anaerobic organism.

Explanation:

This organism makes ATP (energy provider molecule) by aerobic respiration in presence of oxygen, but when oxygen is removed it is capable of switching to fermentation (sugar consumption increases and growth rate decreases).

This happens because fermentation is much less effective at producing ATP and therefore there is not enough energy for growth.

This organisms are called facultative anaerobic.

Organisms with this type of metabolism include bacteria like Escherichia coli and Salmonella or yeast like Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Answer:

Gene therapy

Explanation:

Gene therapy can be defined as the methodologies used to modify/restore the expression of target genes and thus cure and treat genetic disorders. Gene therapy approaches consist of delivering specific nucleic acids (either RNA or DNA) in the cells of the individual to be treated. Some of the most important gene therapy approaches include the use of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) in order to block target gene expression, adenovirus vectors to insert genes into host cells, the use of the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system to insert specific sequences by the mechanism of homologous recombination, etc.
