Answer:
She might study the function of putative oncogenes and/or tumor suppressor genes in AML mice by transfecting small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) which are able to suppress the expression of genes of interest through the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway
Explanations:
The RNA interference (RNAi) pathway is a naturally occurring mechanism which is used in molecular biology laboratories to inhibit the expression of target genes. The RNAi technique consists of delivering small interfering double-stranded RNAs (siRNAs, 18-30 nucleotides in length) into the cells in order to inhibit the translation of genes and/or trigger mRNA degradation, thereby suppressing target gene expression. These siRNAs are specifically designed to bind by complementarity to transcripts of target genes (i.e., mRNAs). In this case, the RNAi pathway can be used to study the function of genes involved in AML pathways (e.g., apoptosis, cell proliferation, etc).
Hypothermia is caused when your body temperature is decreasing rapidly and your body temperature is in shock. Hyperthermia is when your body temperature is greatly above normal, like being sick with a temperature, but with greater temperatures. They both can cause death. Temperatures outside or in living conditions can cause these which can cause death.
Answer:
A. 3/16
Explanation:
The four possible outcomes for Stem length are:
Tt, tT, TT and tt.
The dominant trait (tall stems) will manifest itself in 3 out of 4 outcomes, so its ratio is 3/4.
The four possible outcomes for flower coloration are:
Rr, rR, RR and rr.
The non-dominant trait (white flowers) will manifest itself in 1 out of 4 outcomes, so its ratio is 1/4.
Multiplying both ratios gives us the ratio of offspring that have tall stems and white flowers:
Therefore, the answer is A. 3/16
