Answer #1

d- all of the above.

The act of inserting a gene of interest in the circular plasmid of bacteria and letting the bacteria produce desired protein. This is known as DNA cloning. This is usually done to produce large amount of desired product we require for any particular purpose. We have produced human insulin, growth hormones and many antibiotics by this method of DNa cloning. Insulin gene is expressed in bacteria to produce insulin by bacteria.Same goes with growth hormone and antibiotics. This type of synthesis is also known as recombinant DNA synthesis.

The human gene for a protein hormone has been isolated. Scientists want to introduce this gene into a bacterial host, modifying the bacteria so that it can be used to produce this hormone. After successfully introducing the gene on a plasmid, the bacteria produced the protein hormone, but the protein was defective, longer than normal, with intervening stretches of amino acids not found in the native protein. What is the most likely explanation? A. The bacteria can’t transcribe the human...

Which of the following is NOT true of the Drosophila bicoid gene? The bicoid gene encodes an mRNA that is deposited into the egg by the mother and is localized in one end of the egg. The bicoid mRNA is translated to Bicoid protein after the egg is fertilized. The bicoid gene encodes a protein that specifies the anterior end of the embryo. The bicoid gene is considered to be a cytoplasmic polarity gene. none of the above (i.e. all...

You are studying a mouse gene named MtoA. You know that the protein product of this gene localizes to mitochondria in mice. Your goal is that you want to know whether mouse MtoA protein is capable of localizing to mitochondria if produced in yeast cells. You decide to clone a gene into a translational fusion vector that will add jellyfish DNA sequence encoding the GFP proteins (238 amino acids) in place of the normal stop codon. Unfortunately, you can't find...
