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.

How is the increase in pulse rate while carrying out vigorous activities related to the rate of oxygen intake and release of car
polet [3.4K]
During exercise there is an increase in physical activity and muscle cells respire more than they do when the body is at rest. The heart rate increases during exercise. The rate and depth of breathing increases - this makes sure that more oxygen is absorbed into the blood, and more carbon dioxide is removed from it.

A process by which we shape and interpret sensory impressions in order to give meaning to our environment is​ ____________.
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Perception

Explanation:

Perception is usually defined as a collective process of accumulation, selection and interpretation, and organization of the sensory information. In simple words, it helps in the collection of information that is transferred from the different sense organs and interpreted by the brain. This collected information is used in understanding and interacting with the environment.

Thus, perception refers to the use of sense organs such as the nose, ear, eyes and making a person able to smell, hear and see things.
