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).

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

For standing waves, the areas where the amplitude is zero are referred to as nodes while the areas where the amplitude is at the maximum are known as antinodes.

A standing wave derives its feature primarily from the fact that there are certain points along the medium of transmission that are apparently seeing to be standing still with no displacement whatsoever. At the same time, there exist opposing points to the points of zero displacements. These points have a maximum displacement in both the positive and negative directions. While the former is referred to as nodal points, the latter is known as the antinodal points.

Jack took a pill that increases his sympathetic nervous system arousal. According to Schachter and Singer's theory, putting him in an emotional situation and telling him that the pill will have no effect, would increase the chance of experiencing a strong emotion by him.

The two-factor theory of emotion was given by Stanley Schachter and Jerome E. Singer. According to Schachter and Singer's theory, an emotion is built on two factors i.e. physiological arousal as well as cognitive label.

The theory suggests that when an emotion is perceived, a physiological arousal takes place and the person makes use of the existing surroundings to look for emotional signals to tag the physiological arousal through cognition.

Well the plants wouldn't have any fertilizer which would make them grow smaller than they would've, also the fertilizer adds extra nutrients and chemicals to the water that harm aquatic ecosystems in a variety of ways.
