What are the applications of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated Epigenetic Editing?

The CRISPR/Cas9 with the advantages of low cost and ease of use gives researchers the opportunity to manipulate the epigenome and observe its possible effects on cell function, development, and differentiation (Figure 1). Using non-active dCas9 (another type of Cas9 lacking nuclease activity but retaining DNA binding activity) fused enzymes such as DNA methylase, histone acetyltransferase, and deacetylase can be targeted to alter the epigenetic state of precise locations within the genome.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Applications:

- silence gene expression of target genes

- activate gene expression of target genes

- determine the role of DNA methylation and histone modifications (methylation, acetylation, etc) on specific regulatory sites (e.g., enhancer sequences)

Explanation:

The CRISPR/Cas9 system can be repurposed to edit the epigenome of living cells. For this purpose, it is required 1-to fuse a catalytically inactive 'dead' Cas9 enzyme with enzymes involved in epigenetic mechanisms (e.g., DNA methyltransferases, histone deacetylases, etc) capable of activating or deactivating gene expression, and 2-to design single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs) complementary to the sequence of interest (i.e., target sequences whose epigenome landscape we are trying to modify). For example, dCas9 gene has been fused with the DNA methyltransferase 3a (Dnmt3a) gene to create a dCas9-DNMT3A complex which can be combined with a specific sgRNA in order to study the effects of DNA methylation at a particular gene. These CRISPR/Cas9-mediated epigenome editing systems have shown to be very useful to understand how epigenome drives chromatin folding and dynamics at specific genomic sites (loci), and thus regulate gene expression at the transcriptional level.

The correct answer is - Nematocycst.

Explanation:

Nematocysts are aquatic animals that contain stinging cells known as cnidocytes. These organisms are members of the phylum Cnidaria. These carry a organelle called cnida or cnidocyst.

what is ATP ?

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is the energy carrier in every living organisms on earth which capture and store energy metabolized from food and light sources in the form of ATP.

ATP is broken down through hydrolysis during energy required by a cell, The high energy bond is broken and removal of a phosphoryl group occurred.

The energy released from this process is used to drive various cellular processes.

ATP is constantly  participates in biological reactions and central to the health and growth of all life, transfer energy from one location to another,.

how do allosteric enzymes activate and inhibit chemical reactions in a living organism?​

Answers

Answer:

Allosteric activators bind to locations on an enzyme away from the active site, inducing a conformational change that increases the affinity of the enzyme's active site(s) for its substrate(s). Allosteric inhibitors modify the enzyme's active site so that substrate binding is reduced or prevented.

What structures in the Ammocoetes (lamprey larvae) and adult lamprey are homologous to the gill bars and jaws of the shark (dogfish

Answers

Answer: The homologous structure between shark and lamprey is that:

--> Both are fishes and

--> possess skeletons that are at least partially made of cartilage.

Explanation:

--> it had fins

--> it carries out gaseous exchange by hills.

--> it has a well developed sense of smell

--> it had a two - chambered heart.

Answers

Answer:

Bdelloid rotifers are small metazoans, a class of very small invertebrates that can visible through a microscope only. They reproduce asexually and found in temporary or permanent freshwater.

Bdelloid rotifers population shows only females in this population and Males not found yet, which suggests that females asexually produce identical progeny. The process called parthenogenesis. The organisms that sexually produced their DNA has two copies of the genome that may or may not be identical but in case of asexual reproduction, there are always identical copies produce.

A child is born with hemophilia (inherited as an X-linked recessive) and Klinefelter's syndrome to parents who both have normal blood clotting. In which parent (mother or father) and during which round of meiosis (I or II) did the nondisjunction event occur

Answers

Answer:

mother  

Explanation:

Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disorder caused by a mutation in one of the genes responsible for encoding the clotting factor proteins (factor VIII or factor IX), which are located on the X chromosome. Moreover, the Klinefelter syndrome is caused by men having an additional X chromosome. In this case, the nondisjunction occurred from the mother because her gamete included an extra X, it is for that reason that all genes localized on the X chromosome, including the defective gene involved in hemophilia, can cause all of her sons to be affected by the disease in some generation. Thus, sister chromatids did not separate during meiosis (Anaphase II) and caused two copies of the defective allele for the hemophilia trait.

Describe Technology class using at least 3 adjectives I will appreciate your help adapted from American Indian Storiesby Zitkla- (Gertrude Simmons Bonnin) The elders knew the meaning of my pauses, and often they coaxed my confidence by asking, "What do you seek, little granddaughter?" "My mother says you are to come to our tepee this evening," I instantly exploded and breathed freely afterwards. "Yes, yes, gladly, gladly, I shall come!" each replied. Rising at once and carrying their blankets across one shoulder, they flocked leisurely from their various wigwams toward our dwelling. At the arrival of our guests, I sat close to my mother and did not leave her side without first asking her consent. I ate my supper in quiet, listening patiently to the talk of the elders, wishing all the time that they would begin the stories I loved best. At last, when I could not wait any longer, I whispered in my mother's ear, "Ask them to tell an Iktomi story, Mother." Soothing my impatience, my mother said aloud, "My little daughter is anxious to hear your legends." As each in turn began to tell a legend, I pillowed my head in my mother's lap, and lying flat upon my back, I watched the stars as they peeped down upon me, one by one.
