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).

Plzz help!!'<br><br> in complete sentences, compare the circulatory system of a plant and an animal
bekas [8.4K]
Inside of plants, there are xylem cells that carry water and minerals from the roots, to the leaves, when the food then gets dispersed to the rest of the plant. This is similar to the human circulatory system but there isn't a heart pumping blood around. Hope this helps :)

In the post-absorptive state (e.g. 10 hours after a meal), which is not likely to occur?
GaryK [48]
I found the exercise on the internet and these are the options:
"<span>a. gluconeogenesis begins
b. beta-oxidation increases
c. blood glucose levels fall
d. the liver produces more glycogen"

The option that's not likely to happen is "</span>the liver produces more glycogen".
The formation of glycogen by the liver happens after eating a meal with carbohydrates. The level of blood glucose increases, and insulin is secreted by the pancreas and will act by allowing glucose to enter the body cells. When the glucose enters the liver cells, insulin will also act on the liver by stimulating glycogen synthesis. This process continues to happen until glucose levels begin to decrease in the <span>post-absorptive state</span> and, therefore, insulin secretion also decreases leading glycogen synthesis in the liver to stop.

What is the most important biological molecule that provides energy for most cellular<br> processes?
emmasim [6.3K]
ATP
Adenosine 5'-triphosphate, or ATP, is the most abundant energy carrier molecule in cells. This molecule is made of a nitrogen base (adenine), a ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups. The word adenosine refers to the adenine plus the ribose sugar.
