Question
Chapter 6, Problem 11P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The advantage of many sequences that represent a wide variety of species in the determination of secondary structure using RNA alignments is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The biomolecular structure is a three-dimensional shape that results by the protein, DNA or RNA molecules. The function of protein is most vital characteristic and is determined with the help of its structure. The secondary structure refers to the interactions that occur between bases that are linked to each other by different parts of the strands.

What advantages do CRISPR‑Cas systems have over restriction enzymes and engineered nucleases for editing DNA?
The options are attached. Multiple answers can be chosen
protein. You create a mouse line with Cas9 under control of a brain-specific enhancer, while the short
guide RNA complementary to the first exon of Gene Y is expressed in all tissues. You subsequently
sequence Gene Y in both brain and liver tissue. What would expect in each tissue? You can assume
that the CRISPRICas9 system will impact both copies of Gene Y in cells, and that the first exon of
Gene Y is necessary for Gene Ys function.
a. Liver: Functional Gene Y; Brain: Functional Gene Y
b. Liver: Nonfunctional Gene Y; Brain: Funtional Gene Y
c. Liver: Functional Gene Y; Brain: Nonfunctional Gene Y
d. Liver: Nonfunctional Gene Y; Brain: Nonfunctional Gene Y
I am more confused. how about we start from begining, you post answers on here, and then we go from there?
1. Identify the open reading frame in the following DNA sequence, the protein that this gene encodes for, its function, and the source.
2. "Look carefully at the DNA sequence and identify the start site for transcription"
3.
Click on the DNA sequence from the start site of transcription, select all of the sequence, and copy the sequence.
Go to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) website http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/. Click on BLAST on the right-hand side under “Popular Resources.” BLAST is a program that will allow you to find the protein sequence for the DNA sequence (gene) you submit. Next click on blastx (translated nucleotide protein).
Paste the DNA sequence into the box under “Entry Query Sequence.” Scroll down and click BLAST. The search may take a few seconds; the page will keep updating until the search is completed. You do not need to enter any…
