Biology

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.

1. The bronchi and alveoli organs are part of which organ system?
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

respiratory system

Explanation:

The bronchi become smaller the closer they get to the lung tissue and are then considered bronchioles. These passageways then evolve into tiny air sacs called alveoli, which is the site of oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange in the respiratory system.

What changes is pH occur during digestion of our food ?
mezya [45]
Parietal cells within the stomach lining secrete hydrochloric acid that lowers the pH of the stomach. A low pH (1.5 to 2) activates pepsin. Acetylcholine, gastrin, and histamine stimulate the proton pump in parietal cells to release hydrogen ions and decrease pH.
