It was the structure of DNA. Watson and Crick stole the credit from a woman whose name I can't remember, but basically she took really long exposure photographs (24 hours for some) and saw an X shape, which was the corresponding sign of a double helix. It was a pretty complicated method she was using and nobody had thought of using it for DNA research until then.

Brainstorm how you could use recombinant DNA technology to make normal E. coli bacterial cells glow green.

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

In order to make E. coli bacterial cells glow green, we need to insert a gene that can be translated into the <u>green fluorescent protein.</u> This gene is well-known as <u>gfp</u> and can be inserted either in the DNA or plasmid of the bacteria. The genome insertion procedure would follow the conventional method where the DNA will be first cut using restriction enzymes and then would be ligated. This approach has been extensively applied to test the fate of bacteria in the environmental systems.

A schematic diagram on insertion of gfp in the plasmid of bacteria is shown in the figure. The left side diagram shows that gfp is inserted and right side figure shows glowing bacteria in the presence of UV.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. Compared to its surroundings, the concentration of solutes is low inside a c

KatRina [158]

When the concentration of a certain solute is low inside the cell with respect to the cell's external environment, then the cell performs active transport of the solute from the cytoplasm with a low concentration of solute within the cell to the cell's external with a high concentration of the solute. This process of active transport requires the need of energy in the form of ATP to drive the pumps that are present on its cell membrane.
