Suppose that in the future, scientists identify bacteria on Mars and these organisms lack a site-specific recombination system.Which components would allow for site-specific recombination to occur in these bacteria?
A)FRT target sites and Flp recombinase
B)FRT target sites and Cas9 enzyme
C)an FRT target site and a loxP site
D)a synthetic homologous chromosome

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Site-specific recombination requires specific sequences where recombination occurs and an enzyme that catalyzes the recombination process. FRT target sites and Flp recombinase work together in the Flp-FRT recombination system to enable site-specific recombination.
