Think of the shape of a wave. It looks like a squiggly line. We know the highest part of that line is the peak. The wavelength i

s the distance between wave peaks. Waves of the same type can differ in wavelength. For example, the wavelength of light waves determines its color. Amplitude is the measurement of a wave's height. It is measured in two ways. Peak-to-peak amplitude is the distance between the peak (the topmost part of a wave) and the trough (the lowermost part). Semi-amplitude is half the peak-to-peak amplitude. Most of the time when people refer to "amplitude," they are referring to the semi-amplitude: the distance from the middle of the wave to the top, or the middle of the wave to the bottom. The amplitude of a sound wave determines its volume.
Which of the following best explains the relationship between peak-to-peak amplitude and semi-amplitude?
A Semi-amplitude is half the distance of the peak-to-peak amplitude.
B Semi-amplitude is the same distance as the peak-to-peak amplitude.
C Semi-amplitude is double the distance of the peak-to-peak amplitude.
D Semi-amplitude is always greater than the peak-to-peak amplitude.

Scientists have engineered bacteria to produce human proteins, such as human growth hormone (hGH) used to help treat dwarfism. S
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Bacteria do not possess the tendency to withdraw sequences of introns from a gene, thus, if the gene for the human growth hormone were transcribed, it would translate into a non-functional protein.  

When the expression of a gene takes place in eukaryotes, the budding mRNA comprising introns are removed consequently at the time of post-translational processing to produce mature mRNA. Also, the human growth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland in the form of a pre-hormone comprising a leader peptide of about 20 amino acids in length, which need to get removed post-translationally to produce a mature functional protein.  

Bacteria do not possess the biochemical machinery either to effectively withdraw the leader peptide after translation or to splice out the introns. Thus, when an unchanged human growth hormone is cloned, the bacteria cannot produce the functional human growth hormone.
