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 do adenine, ctyosine, guanine, thymine, and uracil have in common
Goshia [24]

Adenine and guanine have a fused-ring skeletal structure derived of purine, hence they are called purine bases. ... Similarly, the simple-ring structure of cytosine, uracil, and thymine is derived of pyrimidine, so those three bases are called the pyrimidine bases.

Some people think hydropower should be used to supply all of the electricity
ollegr [7]

Answer:

D. Hydropower can harm native aquatic populations.

Explanation:

  • Hydropower is the power of water or hydrosphere and is the cheapest and simplest form of energy.
  • The hydrosphere is a renewable source of energy and is thus non-polluting but most of the hydropower that is converted into electricity is harmful to the marine and aquatic life forms.
  • As it disturbs their habitats and created chemical and physical change in the body of water. Such as depletion of oxygen and enrichment of nutrients.
