If mutation destroys the function of the Cas9 gene then the bacteria will not be able to target a specific bacteriophage for destruction upon infection for the second time.
<h3>What is the Cas9 gene?</h3>
- Cas9 is a 160 kilodalton protein that plays a vital role in the immunological defense of certain bacteria against DNA viruses and plasmids and is heavily utilized in genetic engineering applications.
- Its main function is to cut DNA and thereby alter a cell's genome.
- Although Cas9 is an endonuclease and is evolved as a mechanism of immunity against viruses, they are not considered restriction enzymes.

Answer:
1/8
Explanation:
Given that the trihybrid parents have AaBbCc genotype for fruit color. The trait is a quantitative trait i.e. each dominant allele will have an additive effect on it. In this case, AaBbCc and AABBCC will not produce same fruit color because AaBbCc has only three loci contributing to the color while in AABBCC all the six loci are contributing to the color. For an offspring to be exactly similar to the AaBbCc parents it should have the same genotype of AaBbCc.
The probability of Aa to come from a cross between Aa and Aa is 2/4 or 1/2
The probability of Bb to come from a cross between Bb and Bb is 2/4 or 1/2
The probability of Cc to come from a cross between Cc and Cc is 2/4 or 1/2
So the collective probability of AaBbCc offspring from a cross between AaBbCc and AaBbCc parents would be=
1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8
Hence, assuming no effects of the environment, 1/8 of the offspring will have the same fruit color phenotype as the trihybrid parent.
The answer to this question would be false.
The solute is a substance that was dissolved by the solvent. The amount of solute that can be dissolved is called solubility. The amount of solute mostly small and if it solubility too high it will be precipitated.
There are no rules state that solute should always be the greatest amount.
Answer:
The correct answer is A. scavengers and B. producers
Explanation:
Two types of factors are found in a biome biotic and abiotic factor. All the living things in any biome comes under biotic factors like animals, plants, and microbes and all the non-living things present in the biome are non-biotic factors for example soil, temperature, air, water, salt, etc.
So biome is made up of both living and non-living factors. Scavengers are the organisms that feed on dead and decaying matter and producers are the organisms that make their own food. Most of the producers are plants.
So both scavengers and producers are living organisms therefore both are examples of biotic factors.
