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).

What are cones in the eye
Varvara68 [4.7K]

They are a type of photoreceptor in the retina responsible for color vision. There are three types of cones; blue, green and red mainly packed in the fovea.  The other type of photoreceptor is the rods responsible for black and white vision and are mainly located in the peripherals of the retina.  Rods can perceive dim light, unlike cones.

MaRussiya [10]

Question: A student makes a claim that a cell is undergoing the process of transcription. What evidence would be present to support this claim?

A) tRNA with anticondos is carrying amino acids to the ribosomes.

B) DNA polymerase is using both strands of DNA to produce multiple RNA molecules.

C) Ribosomes are reading mRNA molecules three nucleotide at a time to synthesis proteins

D) RNA polymerase is using a single strand of the DNA molecule as a template for mRNA production

Answer:

The evidence that the student have to produce as an evidence is the "RNA polymerase using the single strand of the DNA molecule as a template for mRNA production."

Explanation:

We know, that in transcription the genetic information from the DNA is copied into RNA for production of the proteins.  According to various research methods, to know whether the cell is going through the transcription, a student can use the bacteriophage coat protein, which must have labelled with the fluorescent protein for studying it under microscope. After, this has been done, in the right location stem loop present, the RNA will be seen initiating of the elongation step, hence the transcription site will be more visible when the coat protein binds to the new RNA, which has happened in the transcription site. We can know see the transcription as fluorescent which will help the student to determine the process of transcription in the cell. Presence of promoters are important to demonstrate the process.
