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).

Bacteria perform the following ecological roles. Which role typically does not involve symbiosis?
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer: Decomposer

Explanation:

Bacteria feed on the dead and decaying organism, in which they feed on them and obtain energy from them.

It is not a mutual relation because the host cell on which they feed is not alive. They eat the organic matter that is present in environment.

The bacteria and fungi clean the environment in this way. The dead plants and animals are decomposed in the environment and the nutrients get back  into the soil.

hence, the correct answer is option B
