The owners of a local bakery ask for your help in improving a special yeast strain they use to make bread. They would like you t

o help them design experiments using RNA interference to turn off genes, to allow them to test their hypothesis that certain genes are important for the good flavors found in their bread. Of the components in the following list, which is the most important to check for in this yeast strain if you would like this project to succeed?
a. the presence of foreign double-stranded RNA
b. the presence of genes in the genome that code for RISC proteins
c. the presence of miRNA genes in the genome
d. the presence of single-stranded siRNAs within the cell

Answer:

b. the presence of genes in the genome that code for RISC proteins

Explanation:

The RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism is a naturally occurring pathway by which eukaryotic cells can silence specific genes both at the transcriptional (eg., by triggering DNA methylation on specific <em>loci</em>) and posttranscriptional (e.g., by triggering mRNA degradation) levels. This mechanism (RNAi) is widely used in molecular biology laboratories in order to silence genes and thus understand their functions. During the RNAi pathway, double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) are cleaved into small double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules known as small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) or microRNAs (miRNAs) by an enzyme referred to as "Dicer". Subsequently, these small non-coding RNAs bind to an enzymatic complex known as RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) that contains a ribonuclease enzyme, i.e., an enzyme that degrades RNA. Finally, the small non-coding RNA (either siRNAs or miRNAs) that are complementary to the RNA target directs the RISC complex to bind and cleave specific mRNAs, thereby silencing gene expression (in this case, by the inhibition of protein translation).

<h2>Answer </h2>

Lactic acid fermentation ocurrs in muscle cells when oxygen is in low supply

<u>Explanation</u>

The lactic acid fermentation in the muscles cell occurs when muscles work faster and it occurs due to the lack of supply of oxygen in the cell. The lactic acid fermentation is a type of aerobic respiration. The lactic acid formation is due to excessive exercise by individuals and oxygen which is essential for living, is less in the muscle which causes the feeling of burning in the muscles.

Levene made which contribution to our understanding of DNA structure? a. He determined that the nucleus contains DNA. b. He dete
Stels [109]

Answer:

The correct answer is  b. He determined that DNA contains four nitrogenous bases.

Explanation:

Levene was an American biochemist who studied the structure of DNA in the early 1900s and in 1920 he found that DNA consists of four nitrogenous bases that are Adenine, Guanine, Thymine, Cytosine.

He also found deoxyribose sugar and phosphate group and said that nucleotide is the basic unit of DNA which contains a ribose sugar with attached nitrogenous base and phosphate group.

He also concludes that an equal amount of adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine makes the DNA which is now known as tetranucleotide hypothesis. So the correct answer is b. He determined that DNA contains four nitrogenous bases.

How are the hydrogen bonds in water responsible for many of the molecules unique characteristics?
DiKsa [7]

Hydrogen bonds exhibit the stronger intermolecular force, and water is a polar molecule, so the hydrogen bonding create strong forces which take more energy to break (causing the surface tension of water), and due to the polarity water molecules “stick” to one another which causes the edges to rise up in a tube, forming a meniscus

If the grasshopper mouse population decreases dramatically, describe what will most likely
pychu [463]

Answer:

If the pallied-winged grasshopper population decreases dramatically, ideally the food chain would get disrupt as grasshopper being primary consumer is a prey for secondary consumer, like frog for the nutrition. In this situation frog's source of nutrition would delimit and consequently, the food chain
