RNAi-based modification of amylopectin content in wheat occurs through decreased expression of starch-branching enzymes. If the

siRNA used to knock down plant starch-branching enzymes was transmitted to humans, what enzyme might it affect, and why would this be harmful

If siRNA against a starch-branching enzyme was transmitted to humans, then it may affect the expression of glycogen-branching enzymes. RNAi inhibits gene expression.

Glycogen-branching enzymes are similar to starch-branching enzymes because glycogen bonds are similar to those observed between amylopectin.

The RNA interference (RNAi) pathway is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism used in molecular biology laboratories to inhibit the expression of target genes.

In the RNAi technique, a regulatory non-coding RNA called small interfering RNA (siRNA) that exhibits sequence complementary to the target gene sequence is used to inhibit and/or block the translation of the target mRNA (in this case, starch/glycogen-branching mRNA coding enzyme).

Answer:

If there is no dominant allele for a trait present on a homologous chromosome to mask the recessive allele, the recessive phenotype will be expressed. In this case, the gene is located on the Z chromosome. In an individual with a ZW genotype (female) there is no homologous Z partner, meaning whatever allele is present on the solitary Z chromosome will be expressed.

1. Give four (4) importance of “wind”?
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

1. Wind is an important element when it comes to current weather and predicting future forecasts. Wind transports moisture and temperature from one area to another, therefore weather conditions change with the shift of wind direction.

2.All plants and animals, including humans, are exposed to the dangers of solar UV radiation; it can cause significant damage to plants, as seen in crop yield reduction and leaf burn, and can damage animal skin health.

3.sun-light is a key energy source for all plants. Through a process called photosynthesis, plants absorb energy from the sun, which fuels the processes necessary for survival.

4.The Sun warms our planet, heating the surface, the oceans and the atmosphere. This energy to the atmosphere is one of the primary drivers our weather. Our climate is also strongly affected by the amount of solar radiation received at Earth.
