Genome editing quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Genome editing card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
The induced breaks are repaired through homology-directed ______ or non-homologous end joining, resulting in targeted mutations.
Answer
recombination. The induced breaks are repaired through homology-directed recombination or non-homologous end joining, resulting in targeted mutations. From the Genome editing article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
History of Tamil Nadu. History of Tamil Nadu 86 · Genome editing 83 · Supervised injection site 80 · Ariel 77 ATK in WikiCards.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Unlike early genetic engineering techniques that randomly insert genetic material into a host genome, genome editing targets the insertions to site-specific locations.
- Programmable molecules called restriction endonucleases, also known as gene editors or molecular scissors, are used to create double-strand breaks at desired locations in the genome.
- The induced breaks are repaired through homology-directed recombination or non-homologous end joining, resulting in targeted mutations.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Genome editing article was read about 36,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 83 and blocks with 94: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
How to get Genome editing
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
