PLSS HELP how is gene knockout similar to gene sequencing?

Biology

alexdok [17]2 years ago

Answer:

Gene knockout is a technique used to determine the function of a gene that has already been sequenced, which is achieved by analyzing the phenotype of the individual carrying the knockout mutation(s). Moreover, gene sequencing is a technique used to determine the sequence of a given gene, which allows to determine how gene variants (polymorphisms) may be associated with the phenotypes of the target trait.  

Explanation:

In genetics, gene knockout is a technique used to trigger mutations in a (already) sequenced gene in order to inactive its function and observe the resulting phenotype for a particular trait. This approach that starts with the inactivation of a given gene and ends with the phenotype is known as reverse-genetics. On the other hand, gene sequencing can be defined as the methodologies/techniques/tools used to determine the nucleotide base pair sequence of a particular gene. The gene knockout technique involves knowing a priori the gene sequence in order to obtain a gene knockout (gene KO). The combination of the information obtained from these techniques can be used to determine how variation (genetic variation) affects the expression of a phenotypic trait.

Which of the following organelles is an irregular maze of interconnected spaces enclosed by a membrane and functions as the site
puteri [66]

Answer: Endoplasmic Reticulum

Explanation:

The Endoplasmic Reticulum is a network of interconnecting membrane enclosing channels that are continuous from outer outer nuclear envelope to plasma membrane. ER is classified into rough and smooth varieties.

The ER is very prominent in the cell activity synthesizing proteins e.g glycoproteins, lipoproteins and immunoglobins

The fast axoplasmic transport includes proteins from the __________ and transported on ___________. The slow axoplasmic transpor
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

a. RER, microtubules, cytoplasm

Explanation:

The axoplasmic transport or axonal transport that moves the material at the rate of 1-5 mm/day is called slow axoplasmic transport. This system serves to deliver the materials required for regeneration of axons and axoplasm. It includes the movement of proteins from cytoplasm along the axon.

On the other hand, the fast axoplasmic transport moves the material at the rate of 200-400 mm/day. It serves to transport integral membrane proteins and secretory proteins formed on RER. The fast movement occurs with the help of motor proteins that move the material along the surface of microtubules present in the cytoskeleton of neurons.
