Biology
1 answer:
alexdok [17]2 years ago
6 0

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.

What is a greenhouse gases and what is Green House effect
TiliK225 [7]
Greenhouse gases(also known as GHGs) are gases in the earth's atmosphere that trap heat, such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and certain synthetic chemicals.

The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth's surface. When the Sun's energy reaches the Earth's atmosphere, some of it is reflected back to space and some is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases.

Answer:  The average global temperature has increased by a little more than 1°. The temperatures we experience locally and in short periods can fluctuate. In the past, a one- to two-degree drop was all it took to plunge the Earth into the Little Ice Age. The strong warming trend of the past four decades likely reflects a shift
