Biology

Exothermic reactions lose heat and are hot to the touch (Think explosion)

Endothermic reactions gain heat and are cold to the touch (Think of an instant ice pack where you pop it to make it cold)

Endothermic reactions are reactions that take in energy. This is usually in the form of heat. An example could be evaporation because heat is being absorbed by water and molecules are moving away from each other.  

Reactions that give off energy to their surroundings, usually in the form of heat, are called exothermic reactions. An example of an exothermic reaction is striking a match. Lighting a match gives out heat.

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.
