Answer:

Endoplasmic reticulum is the defective organelle in most CF.

Explanation:

This is because of  mutation(deletion) in the proteins of these organelle. The CFTR  protein -a transmembrane regulator get stucked inside the E.R, thus  the  CFTR chloride protein channel is blocked. Therefore the outflow of Cl and water  out of the cell  is obstructed.

Consequently, the mucus from blocked fluid flow, clogs the lungs, the fallopian tube, sweat duct, and other places.

How to determine the enzymes used to cut plasmid in cloning.
Alex73 [517]
When cloning by restriction digest and ligation, you use restriction enzymes to cut open a plasmid (backbone) and insert a linear fragment of DNA (insert) that has been cut by compatible restriction enzymes. An enzyme, DNA ligase, then covalently binds the plasmid to the new fragment thereby generating a complete, circular plasmid that can be easily maintained in a variety of biological systems. Read on for an in-depth breakdown of how to do perform restriction digests.

All codon together make genetic code. For example: AUG is codon that specify amino acid "methionine". AUG codon also serve as initiation codon during initiation of protein synthesis.
