The researchers introduced a small RNA complementary to a portion of the mRNA encoding protein A into the Brec-MUT cells growing

in a petri dish. The researchers claim that the treated cells will fail to stimulate blood vessel formation. Based on information provided, provide reasoning to support their claim.

Answer:

Delivered small RNAs can inhibit protein A production through the RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism, and thus impairs angiogenesis  

Explanation:

The pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A is a protease enzyme involved in the formation of new blood vessels by increasing insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) bioavailability. Moreover, small RNAs (<200 nucleotides in length, generally 18 to 30 nucleotides) are non-coding RNA molecules that function in RNA silencing through the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. Small RNAs are widely used in molecular biology laboratories because they can be delivered into specific cells in order to silence target mRNAs such as, in this case, the mRNA encoding protein A, by complementary base pairing and thereby inducing translational repression. In consequence, mRNAs complementary to delivered small RNAs are silenced through RNAi pathways, i.e., by cleavage of the target mRNA and/or mRNA destabilization.

Why do you pass out if you lock your knees?
Inga [223]
It's caused by blood pooling in the legs, so there's insufficient return to the heart and brain. Normally, moving one's legs helps to pump blood back to the heart through muscle contraction. Locking the knees makes standing still easier, but reduces use of the leg muscles. In some people, this pooling may lead to hypoperfusion of the brain and fainting, which is essentially the body's way of putting the brain and the legs and the heart at the same level.

What are the two reactions that take place in the process of photosynthesis?
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

light-dependant reactions and Calvin cycle:)

Explanation:

Well, In the light-dependent reactions, which take place at the thylakoid membrane, chlorophyll absorbs energy from sunlight and then converts it into chemical energy with the use of water.

Plants need carbon dioxide and _ out of photosynthesis
ICE Princess25 [194]
I'm not sure if this is exactly correct, but to complete photosynthesis, plants need carbon dioxide and water. Usually sunlight as well. If you are supposed to be specific, you could put H2O. I hope I answered your question!
