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.
When a wave has a height of 5 feet and a wavelength of 15 feet then it has a wave base of 7.5 feet. Wave base is equal to the half of the wavelength so if you consider your wavelength to be 15 feet then it is divided into 2 that would give you answer of 7.5 feet.
Parasitism is the relationship that is present between Plasmodium and humans because one organism takes benefit from the other whereas the other get harmed by the other. In Plasmodium and humans relationship, human gets harmed from the mosquito by having malarial disease, while on the other hand, mosquito is benefitted by sucking of blood which is a food source for mosquitoes.
