what is the concept behind Gene silencing technology?
Answer / swapna
Like gene therapy, gene silencing is a simple concept that
is difficult to implement. Several different techniques are
explored that attack the sequence or expression of a gene
at different points in the life cycle.
The different Techniques are knockouts, antisense,
ribozymes, aptamers and RNAi. The promise of gene silencing
is that it offers the potential for improved efficacy with
fewer side-effects over more conventional therapeutics.

What are the down sides of Genetic Engineering?
Describe how the genotype of an organism can influence the phenotype associated with a particular allele?
Does Environment affect genes?
In humans, freckles are dominant to no freckles. A man with freckles is married to a woman with freckles, but the children have no freckles. What's the reason?
7) Diabetes is recessive. A) If woman has diabetes and marries a man that doesn’t have it, is it possible for their offspring to acquire this disease? A A Aa Aa Aa Aa a a genotypes Phenotype 100% Aa, Heterozygous 100% No diabetes B) If none of the father’s ancestors had ever had diabetes, would their children have a chage of getting the disease? Explain
In human beings, brown eyes are usually dominant over blue eyes. Suppose a blue-eyed man marries a brown-eyed woman whose father was blue-eyed. What proportion of their children would you predict to have blue eyes?
How is Genetic Engineering currently used?
In cucumbers normal leaves (N) are dominant to curled leaves (n) and elongated fruit (L) is dominant to spherical fruit and these genes are linked on the same chromosome. If a pure-breeding normal-leaved, elongated fruit cucumber is crossed with a curled-leaved, spherical fruit cucumber, what will be the phenotype of the F1? the phenotypic ratio of the F2?
what is the new theory of introns?
