Answer:

C

Explanation:

The reason is that C represents group 17 of the periodic table, the halogens.

The halogens are a group of elements (in group 17) that are one electron short from achieving their full octet, and being stable. Due to this fact, they are extremely reactive, and will react with almost any substance to accept that one extra electron to become stable.

The other groups represented by letters are:

A- Alkali metals

B- Alkaline metals

C- Halogens

D- Nobel gasses

Describe each step required to make a gene knock-out in mice.
Ahat [919]

Answer:

1. Designing of the target vector.

2. Insertion of the target vector into the embryonic stem cell

3. Selection of the cells

4. Injecting selected cells into the new cells

5. Breeding of mouse with a normal mouse

Explanation:

The target vectors are made by inserting markers into them. The target vector is inserted into ES cells. The vector generally recombined with the target gene and knock-out that gene. Sometimes, recombination of vectors occurs at incorrect place.

The cells survive in the presence of markers only if the target gene is incorporated with target vector. The cells with the target vector are injected into a normal developing embryo of mouse.

The developed mouse will consist of heterozygous knockout cells and its own cells. The normal mouse is bred with this chimeric mouse. The offspring of these mouse are able to transfer knock-out gene to next generation.

A buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components. It is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base., thus maintaining the pH of the solution relatively stable. This is important for processes and/or reactions which require specific and stable pH ranges.
