The ability to replace the wildtype alleles with a knockout allele in mice has enabled researchers to carry out important revers

e genetics studies on gene function. Please select all of the statements below which correctly describe the creation of gene knockout mice. Multiple answers are possible, and partial credit will be given.A.Illegitimate recombinants have the knockout allele randomly inserted and do not replace the wildtype alleles and may potentially insert into other genes and confound the analysis.B.Resistance to the anti-viral drug ganciclovir indicates that homologous recombination has occured.C.Homologous recombinants of the knockout alleles are desired since they will replace the wildtype allele.D.Resistance to neomycin indicates insertion of the knockout allele but does not distinguish between homologous and non-homologous recombinants.E.The embryonic stem cells carrying homologous recombinants of the knockout allele are placed back into a blastocyst and injected into a surrogate mother to produce mice carrying the knockout allele.

Answer:

The correct statements are,:

B. Resistance to the anti-viral drug ganciclovir indicates that homologous recombination has occurred.

C. Homologous recombinants of the knockout alleles are desired since they will replace the wildtype allele

E. The embryonic stem cells carrying homologous recombinants of the knockout allele are placed back into a blastocyst and injected into a surrogate mother to produce mice carrying the knockout allele.

Explanation:

<u>wrong statements</u>

A. Illegitimate recombinants have the knockout allele randomly inserted and do not replace the wildtype alleles and may potentially insert into other genes and confound the analysis

D. Resistance to neomycin indicates insertion of the knockout allele but does not distinguish between homologous and non-homologous recombinants

A and D are wrong statement due to the fact that Cells that were transformed with a vector containing the neomycin gene and the herpes tk+ gene are grown in a solution that contains neomycin and Ganciclovir in order to distinguish  the transformations that occured through homologous recombination. Any DNA insertion that occurred through  random insersion( illegitimate recombinant) will die because the tests positive for both  neomycin resistant gene and herpes tk+ gene whose gene product reacts with Ganciclovir to produce deadly toxins.

vazorg [7]

Answer:

Genetic drift happens when its adapted organisms survive and reproduce more often than poorly-adapted organisms

1. differential reproduction, that is, not all organisms are able to reproduce to their fullest capacity because nature cannot simply sustain it

The Lac Operon is a set of genes that controls the production of lactase the enzyme that digests
Romashka [77]

Answer:

The lactose present prevents the production of lactase

Explanation:

This question is describing a set of genes in bacteria called LAC OPERON. Lac operon controls the production of lactase, which is the enzyme that digests lactose. However, this gene can be regulated at the transcription level i.e caused to be transcribed or not depending on certain factors.

According to the question, lac operon, which regulates the production of enzymes will be transcribed and subsequently translated i.e. turned on when there is a substrate (lactose) that the produced enzyme will work on. However, when there is no need of the lactase enzyme or there is absence of lactose (substrate), the lac operon gene is turned off.

Note that, the statement that "The presence of lactose prevents the production of lactase" is not correct.
