The generation of a knock-out organism generally requires all the following EXCEPT ________. The generation of a knock-out organ

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

knowledge of the sequence product

Explanation:

A gene knockout is a technique used in molecular genetics to deactivate target genes in an organism in order to study their functions by reverse genetics (i.e., gene loss). Knockouts are generated by different methods including, for example, homologous recombination or site-specific nucleases (zinc-fingers, TALENS, CRISPR/Cas9). These techniques require to know a priori the sequence of each gene to be knocked out in order to target desired mutations. In the last years, the CRISPR/Cas9 tool has gained attention to knockout genes of interest because it is a genome editing system that can be easily used for deletion or insertion of bases.

The Hershey and Chase experiments involved the preparation of two different types of radioactively labeled phage. Which of the f

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

B. It was necessary that each of the two phage components, DNA and protein, be identifiable upon recovery at the end of the experiment.

Explanation:

Hershey and Martha Chase used radiolabeled the DNA of some of the bacteriophage cells with phosphorus (32P). They radiolabeled the sulfur (35S) of the coat protein in the second batch of the phage cells. They infected some of the bacterial cells with phage having radiolabeled DNA while the other <em>E. coli</em> cells were infected with the phage carrying radiolabeled coat protein. This allowed the clear identification of the radiolabelled molecule (DNA or protein) present in the host cell.

They observed that the <em>E. coli </em>cells infected with phage having radiolabeled DNA exhibited the radioactivity while the other batch of the host cell did not show it.
