Which statement explains the cleaning action of soap on greasy dishes?

#SCPH05 I Biotechnology

  1. The soap changes the water-solubility of the grease so that it is easily dissolved by the water.

  2. The grease is trapped inside the hydrophobic interior of micelles made of soap molecules.

  3. The soap chemically breaks down the grease into smaller, more water-soluble molecules.

  4. The soap hydrates the grease with its polar head groups and holds it in suspension.

In Neurospora, the mutant stp exhibits erratic stop-and start growth. When a female of stp strain is crossed with a normal strain acting as a male, all progeny individuals' showed stp mutant phenotype. However, the reciprocal cross resulted in all normal progeny, individuals. These results can be explained on the basis of

A. Uniparental gene contribution

B. Nuclear inheritance with concept of dominance

C. Sex link character

D. stp mutation may be located in chloroplast DNA

According to the diagram, arrange the steps in correct order: 


1. DNA is then digested by the Cas9 nuclease at specific points on both DNA strands. 
2. Homologous recombination to repair the break and incorporate the new DNA sequence then follows. 
3.The nuclease Cas9 is targeted to DNA by a guide RNA consisting of a specific 20 nucleotide spacer/targeting sequence (crRNA).
 4. That identifies the DNA to be modified, linked to a trans-activating (tracrRNA) sequence necessary for the recruitment and stability of Cas9 nuclease.
