Homologous recombination can be used in the lab to replace a gene of interest with a selection marker. To confirm that the selec

tion marker is integrated into the correct place in the genome, sometimes a negative selection is used in addition to the standard positive selection marker. Which of the following would act as a negative selection marker?
a. Transformation of a different gene, which does not act as a selection marker, to replace the gene of interest.â
b. A second marker in the knock out cassette, that if inserted into the genome results in cell death when plated on selective media.
c. Transforming the cells with two different knock out cassettes, each containing the same selection marker3. â

Answer:

b. A second marker in the knock-out cassette, that if inserted into the genome results in cell death when plated on selective media.

Explanation:

General recombination, also known as homologous recombination, refers to the naturally occurring process of exchange of genetic material between pairs of homologous DNA sequences. This process (homologous recombination) can be exploited by genetic engineering to insert DNA segments of interest at target genes. Moreover, a cassette is a mobile DNA segment containing almost a gene and a recombination site, which is integrated into the <em>locus</em>/<em>loci</em> of interest by homologous recombination. A cassette may contain a DNA segment called 'negative marker' which prevents growth under particular conditions, while a positive marker permits growth under certain conditions. In consequence, a second marker consisting of a drug cassette may be used as a negative marker in order to evidence its insertion by inducing cell death when they are plated in selective conditions.

Why is preventing pollution at its source the first strategy in minimizing environmental risk ?
malfutka [58]
For the environmental risk, it is much better to prevent pollution than to deal with it after it has already been made. When you deal with the pollution, it is hard to say that you can eliminate completely. So, prevention is the first strategy.

What will happen if the condition(red blood cells swelling and bursting), occurs to red blood cells in our body?
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hemolytic anemia is a disorder in which red blood cells are destroyed faster than they can be made. The destruction of red blood cells is called hemolysis. Red blood cells carry oxygen to all parts of your body. If you have a lower than normal amount of red blood cells, you have anemia.

T/F. Autonomic ganglia are sights of synapse and information transmission from preganglionic to postganglionic neurons.
inessss [21]

Answer:

<u>True</u>

Explanation:

There are <u>two components of efferent/motor nervous system</u>.

1.<u>Autonomic Nervous System</u>

It innervates the<u> smooth muscles, glands and cardiac muscles and is under involuntary control. ANS is further divided into Sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system.</u>

It is composed of<u> preganglionic neurons</u> and <u>postganglionic neurons</u>. <u>The axons of preganglionic neurons synapse on the cell bodies of postganglionic neurons. </u>

Autonomic ganglia of sympathetic nervous system form the paravertebral ganglia (long chains on either side of spinal cord) and autonomic ganglia of parasympathetic nervous system are located close to the organ which the fibers innervate.

<u>2. Somatic Nervous system</u>

It is responsible for<u> voluntary control of skeletal muscles and is composed of motor nerve and the innervated muscle.</u>
