Dvinal [7]3 years ago

Since diabetics are not able to make enough insulin, scientists use gene engineering to make it for them. they insert the gene that codes for the production of insulin in the plasmid (circular DNA of bacteria ) to create recombinent DNA, and the bacteria will asexually reproduce, making more and more of the insulin in a short amount of time! hope this helped it took me a long time to understand the whole process in this unit!

Is DNA bigger than proteins?
NemiM [27]

Answer:

Average weight of a DNA base pair is 650 Da. And you can find the molecular weight of DNA by using a formula, no. of basepairs*650 Da.

If u take the DNA that has information to code particular protein I presume that DNA has higher molecular weight than the protein product
