Answer:

b. Homologous recombination between the mutant DNA and the corresponding gene in the mouse genome

Explanation:

The Cre-lox recombination system is a versatile mammalian gene-editing tool used to produce site-specific recombination events in specific cell lines (e.g., embryonic stem or 'ES' cell lines) by facilitating the integration of a circular mol­ecule in genomic DNA. This system makes use of a Cre recombinase enzyme from bacteriophage P1 that has the ability to recombine specific sequences referred to as Lox sequences. By using this system, it is possible to generate knockout mice by crossing a strain of mice expressing Cre recombinase strain with a targeted loxP-flanked (floxed) mouse strain. The generation of a floxed mouse consists of 1-generation of a targeting construct containing homologous sequences with the mouse genome and loxP sites flanking the gene sequence of interest, and 2-homologous recombination of the targeting construct with the endogenous target gene sequence in the mouse genome.

Answer:

1. Providing structure --> Collagen makes skin strong yet flexible.

2. Maintaining homeostasis --> Insulin controls the concentration of sugar in the blood.

3. Fighting Disease --> IgA prevents the buildup of viruses and bacteria in the gut.

4. regulating chemical reactions --> Pepsin works in the stomach to speed up the breakdown of food.

Describe how Eukaryota plant cells store remove waste materials?
zloy xaker [14]

 They convert a lot of their waste into useful substances through photosynthesis. Gaseous wastes are excreted during respiration through the plant's stomata and root cell walls. At night, when photosynthesis cannot occur, excess water is released through the tips of the leaves.

Other waste products are released as leaves and flowers fall off of a plant. In addition to oxygen, water and carbon dioxide, other plant waste products include resins, saps, latex and tannins. Some of these products are released into the soil surrounding the plant.

What are Eukaryotes?
fomenos
Eukaryotes are organisms who is containing a nucleus, cells and other organelles that are enclosed with membranes just like the prokaryotes does. Eukaryotes are able to reproduce asexually through the process of mitosis and sexually through the  process of meiosis.
