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.

What is the difference between a benign tumor and a<br> metastatic tumor?
den301095 [7]
A benign tumour is generally not dangerous as they grow usually within a membrane in one space. They can however grow really big in a short space of time and can cause pressure on neighbouring blood vessels which can be dangerous.

Metastatic or malignant tumours are dangerous and cancerous. After they grow, some cells break off and travel in the bloodstream to a different area of the body (usually the main organs) and forms a secondary tumour there. This keeps happening until the cancer has spread to all of the body.

What would be the advantage(s) to having no chloroplasts in the cells of the spongy mesophyll?
Gwar [14]
Well, first off the spongy mesophyll does have some chloroplasts, however they are located quite far from the surface of the leaf where most of the chloroplasts are. Therefore they don't get much light and don't contribute a lot to photosynthesis in the leaf. So why should the leaf waste the energy in making chloroplasts if there is not enough light to make them all efficient enough at photosynthesis?
