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).

When a neutrophil discharges its enzymes into the tissue fluid?
Alik [6]
Both the macrophages and the neutrophils can discharge their lysosomal enzymes, via exocytosis, into the extracellular fluid or release their entire cell content when the cell ( macrophage or neutrophil) dies. Releasing of these enzymes assists in the digesting of the inflammatory exudate. 
Neutrophils wander in the connective tissue killing bacteria, they produce a cloud of bactericidal chemicals which creates a killing zone. Lysosomes discharge contents into tissue fluids through a process called degranulation, the comes the respiratory burst which is when the neutrophils absorb all the oxygen which causes toxic chemicals to be created.

Which action causes breakers​
qwelly [4]

Answer:

down below

Explanation:

The answer is when the waves meet the shore and cause the crest to spill over the trough. This activity creates a back and forth movement of the sand which causes them to settle at a certain area under below the water.
