How do scientists use recombinant DNA technology to produce the drug insulin?

Biology
1 answer:
Papessa [141]4 years ago
7 0
First, scientists isolate the gene that controls insulin production. Then, they take that gene and insert into a plasmid (a circular ring of DNA found in bacteria). When the bacterium with that plasmid reproduces, it carries that insulin-producing gene. Then they can either mass-reproduce that bacteria or transfer the plasmid to another rapidly-reproducing bacteria. After some time, they harvest the insulin from the bacteria.

SashulF [63]

Answer:

The minimum mass of dissolved cholesterol that the new system must be able to detect is 0.43 milligrams.

Note: The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

<em>GenAlex Medical, a leading manufacturer of medical laboratory equipment, is designing a new automated system that can detect borderline high levels of dissolved cholesterol (170, to 200. mg/dL), using a blood sample that is as small as 250 μL Calculate the minimum mass in milligrams of cholesterol that the new system must be able to detect Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.</em>

Explanation:

Range of the equipment to detect cholesterol in blood = 170.0  to 200.0 mg/dL

Minimum amount of cholesterol that can be detected by instrument = 170 mg/dL

Volume of blood sample = 250 <em>μ</em>L= 0.0025 dL (1 dL = 100000 <em>μL)</em>

Amount of dissolved cholesterol in 250 <em>μL</em> sample of blood =

170 mg/dL * 0.0025 dL =  0.425 mg

The minimum mass of cholesterol that the new system must be able to detect is 0.43 milligrams.

Why are cinder cones short-lived?
Reptile [31]

Usually the lava flows come towards the end of the eruption, once the magma has lost enough of its volatiles to flow more quietly. Cinder cone eruptions are comparatively short lived, and thus cinder cones are much smaller features than stratovolcanoes and shield volcanoes (usually no more than a mile at the base).
