Question

Suppose that you would like to make a human protein in bacteria. You clone a fragment of genomic DNA that contains the human gene into a plasmid, transform the plasmid into the bacteria, and isolate colonies containing the recombinant plasmid. Which of the following results would you expect from this experiment?
a. The bacteria could produce a truncated, nonfunctional human protein
b. The bacteria could produce no human protein
c. The bacteria could produce a much longer protein with an incorrect amino acid sequence
d. The bacteria could produce a normal, functioning human protein

Answer 1

D is the answer because the bacteria will be able to produce a functioning protein
