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.

Algae are not plants, animals or fungi. They belong to Kingdom Protista, a diverse group of single-celled eukaryotes.
Protists have their own kingdom because many species share some characteristics of plants, animals or fungi.
Algae belong to the group of plant-like protists.
They are autotrophs that fulfill the role of producer in ecosystems because they make their own food via photosynthesis, like plants.
