A cell that just fertilized has to divide 6 times to form a 64 cell blastomere.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Human reproduction begins with the fusion of male gamete sperm and female gamete ovum. The fusion of sperm and ovum forms the zygote that is diploid. The zygote then undergoes mitotic division to develop into embryo.

The zygote first divides into two and the two individual cells divide again to form four individual cells and so on. Thus the number of cells after each division can be represented by the equation $2^n$ where n is the number of divisions. in the question it is given that the blastomere has 64 cells.

$2^n=64$

n=6

This means that the fertilized cell has to divide 6 times to develop into 64-celled blastomere.

__________ is/are defined as a group of potentially breeding organisms within a species in a given space and time.

elena-s [515]

Answer:

Population.

Explanation:

Population may be defined as the smallest unit of ecology and the evolution might occur at the population level.

Population is the group of the organisms that belong to the particular species and lives in a specific particular habitat. The individual of the population breeds among themselves. Sometimes the individual of two different population can also breed among themselves in extreme cases.

Thus, the answer is population.

The correct answers are:

• transcribe RNA that combines with a protein that has a DNA-cleaving function.

• identify viral DNA by complementary base pairing with template DNA.

CRISPR is a DNA sequence found in bacteria (or other prokaryotic cell), derived from DNA fragments from viruses that have previously infected that bacteria. Bacteria use CRISPR to destroy DNA from next similar viruses. So, it is form of antiviral defense in bacteria.

Cas9 is an RNA-guided DNA endonuclease enzyme (DNA-cleaving function) associated with the CRISPR that cleave specific sequences of DNA complementary to the CRISPR sequence.
