Question

A biologist isolated a gene from a human cell, inserted it into a plasmid, and inserted the plasmid into a bacterium. The bacterium made a new protein, but it was nothing like the protein normally produced in a human cell. Why? (Explain your answer.)
a. The bacterium had undergone transformation.
b. The gene did not have sticky ends.
c. The human gene contained introns.
d. The gene was not synthesized from scratch.

Accepted Answer

Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. So the process by which bacteria take recombinant DNA from a solution is referred to us. Let's go over our answer choices so that we may solve this problem. Beginning by answer choice. A conjugation is a process that allows bacteria to take in D. N. A. V. A. Contact and this contact is done with other bacteria. So we're basically going to build a type of bridge of contact that is going to allow them to transfer DNA between each other. They're not going to be taking it directly from the solution. So we're going to cancel this out. Then we have transaction and transaction is a type of DNA take up where bacteria taking DNA from bacterial Fiji's which are viruses that travel from bacteria to bacteria transferring the DNA. It is called transaction. Again. This is not taken directly from the solution and we're going to be canceling it out. Then we have transformation and transformation is a process by which bacteria taking classmates or use D. N. A. From a solution and then they use it for their own means. Because of this this is actually going to be the correct answer choice to the process by which bacteria take the recombinant DNA from the solution. There is a final answer to our question and I really hope this video helped you
