Targeted gene knockouts involve the deletion or disruption of a given gene. What method might be effectively used to knock out a

gene in yeast? What method might be used in mice? Why would the method used in yeast be ineffective in mice?

Answer:

In order to determine the function of an unknown gene knockout technique is used. PCR based deletion strategy is used for gene knockout in the case of yeast, which is unicellular species and eukaryotic. On the other hand, in the case of a mouse, which is multicellular and eukaryotic, for gene knock out homologous recombination technique is used.  

The PCR based strategy is not appropriate for mice genes knockout, as mice are multicellular species and exhibit complex genome. While yeast constitutes some circular plasmids, known as 2 microns plasmids, which allows PCR based mutagenesis.

What functions do plants,animals,and cells have in common
ivann1987 [24]

They are more similar then different. Animal and plant cells have some of the same cell components in common including a nucleus, Golgi complex, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, mitochondria, peroxisomes, cytoskeleton, and cell (plasma) membrane. The main difference is that plant cells have a cell wall while animal cells only have a cell membrane. In addition, plant cells preform photosynthesis, while animal cells preform cellular respiration.

Hope this helps!

Please help me , Describe how bonds contain energy and what the energy is used for
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Chemical bonds contain potential energy.

Explanation:

Chemical bonds always contain potential energy. The atoms of the bond want to move to a lower energy to become more stable.. The energy for breaking bonds only comes when stronger bonds are formed.  This energy is used to tear apart the bonds holding the Hydrogen atoms together. The strength of the covalent bonds depend on the overlap between the valence orbitals of the bonded Atom.

Plz help oh and one of the questions is what percent of energy does an individual get from the individual it eats
liraira [26]

1. An example of secondary consumer is snake. Secondary consumers are the ones who eat the primary consumers, which makes them carnivore.

2. Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and (some other organisms) that converts water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) with the presence of sun energy (collected in the chloroplasts) into chemical energy that is later stored in sugars (carbohydrates). Organisms that do the photosynthesis are called autotrophs (produce food by themselves).

3. The energy pyramid represents energy flow in a community, where the different levels represent different groups of organisms.  

The food chain is a circulation of energy that comes from the sun and passes from the producer organisms to the primary consumer, secondary and tertiary consumer organisms.  

4. For example, plant is producer that is eaten by primary consumer-herbivore (e.g. bugs). Than secondary consumer-carnivore (e.g. snake) eat that herbivore and than is being eaten by tertiary consumer (apex predator that have no natural predator).  

5. One trophic level gets only 10% of the energy of the previous level. So, if the plant have 10.000 units of energy and is eaten by rabbit, rabbit gets 1000 units of energy, and when the fox eats an rabbit, it gets 100 units of energy.  

6. Trophic level is the position of an organism in the food chain.
