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).

1) The answer is <span>bluegreen algae
</span>
Bluegreen algae or cyanobacteria <span>are thought to have started life on earth because they converted the atmosphere that didn't have a lot of oxygen, into an atosphere with enough oxygen to exist life. That </span>oxygen was a product of their photosynthesis.

2) The answer is lightning.
<span>By Primordial Soup Theory, life began as a result of the combination of chemicals from the atmosphere and lighning (a form of energy) to make amino acids. Aminoacids are necessary to build proteins, and proteins are necessary for all the organisms.</span>

avanturin [10]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<h3>Interphase</h3>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

<h3>The cell cycle is the period of time from the beginning of one cell division to the beginning of the next. The longest stage of the cell cycle is called interphase. Interphase is the stage that occurs in between cell divisions. During interphase, the cell grows and develops and performs its functions.</h3>
