The CRISPR system allows biologists to alter the nucleotide sequence of specific genes. Which of these tasks could theoretically be achieved by applying the CRISPR system instead of other techniques of genetic engineering?

A. transferring a functional gene from one organism to another
B. deactivating a disease-causing gene
C. replacing a defective gene with a normal gene
D. determining whether two DNA samples came from the same source

Pentane with molecular formula c5h12, exists in three isomeric forms. one shows linear carbon chains, another has one -ch3 groups present on the third carbon atom, and the third has two -ch3 groups present on the second carbon atom. what types of isomers are these? a. geometric isomers b. structural isomers c. halotropic isomers

What best explains whether bromine (br) or neon (ne) is more likely to form a covalent bond? bromine forms covalent bonds because it has seven valence electrons, but neon has eight valence electrons and already fulfills the octet rule. bromine forms covalent bonds because it has many electron shells, but neon has only two electron shells and is tightly bound to its electrons. neon forms covalent bonds because it can share its valence electrons, but bromine has seven valence electrons and can gain only one more electron. neon forms covalent bonds because it has only two electron shells, but bromine has many electron shells and will lose electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule.
