The human insulin gene contains introns. Since bacterial cells will not excise introns from mRNA, can a gene like this be cloned

into a bacterial cell that will produce insulinA. TrueB. False
Biology

Oksana_A [137]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Yes, the insulin gene can be cloned.

Explanation:

The insulin gene is cloned and this is done using recombinant DNA technology. The trick is that the introns are excluded before the genes are introduced into the bacteria.

This is because the part of the gene that contains the information needed are the exons.

The cells already naturally remove introns. It's called gene splicing.

So in the cloning of insulin, the already spliced mRNA is what is used. This mRNA is copied into a DNA version using an enzyme called reverse transctiptase.

The DNA is then made double stranded using Polymerase Chain Reaction(PCR). This double stranded DNA is just exons, no introns. It is then put into the plasmids and the bacteria and copied.

Identify the point in mitosis at which separase cleaves the protein complex that holds sister chromatid pairs together. In norma
True [87]

Answer:

In the transition of metaphase to anaphase, the cohesin complex is cleaved by the separase enzyme in a process dependent on the activation of specific proteins that trigger posttranslational modifications (i.e., protein degradation by ubiquitination). This process of cleavage enables the sister chromatids to separate and move to opposite sides of the cell

Identify what constitutes the defining characteristic of potable water.
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Potable water can be defined as the water that can used for drinking purpose and it should not harm the body in longer terms.

The potable water is high quality water which lacks pathogen that causes contamination.

It has dissolved minerals, salts, ions, oxygen and some other gases like nitrogen, carbon dioxide in an appropriate amount.

Please answer I really need help
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Carbohydrates - monosaccharides

Proteins - amino acids

Nucleic acids - nucleotides

Lipids - fatty acids (hydrocarbon chains)

Explanation:

There are four major biological molecules called biomolecules in nature namely; carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids. These four molecules form the bedrock upon which life is built. The biomolecules mentioned above are POLYMERS formed as a result of the combination of two or more simpler molecules called MONOMERS in a process called CONDENSATION.

The monomer of each polymeric biomolecule is as follows;

Carbohydrates - monosaccharides

Proteins - amino acids

Nucleic acids - nucleotides

Lipids - fatty acids (hydrocarbon chains)

As a molecule moves through the plasma membrane it passes through a hydrophobic layer of phospholipid tails then a hydrophilic l
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

"As a molecule moves through the plasma membrane it passes through <em>a hydrophilic layer of phospholipid heads then a hydrophobic layer of phospholipid tails and then another hydrophilic layer of phospholipid heads".</em>

Explanation:

Biological membranes are formed by two lipidic layers, proteins, and glucans.

Lipids characterize for being amphipathic molecules, which means that they have both a hydrophilic portion and a hydrophobic portion at the same time. These molecules have a lipidic head that corresponds to a negatively charged phosphate group, which is the polar and hydrophilic portion. They also have two lipidic tails that correspond to the hydrocarbon chains -the apolar and hydrophobic portion- of the fatty acids that esterify glycerol.

Membrane lipids are arranged with their hydrophilic polar heads facing the exterior and the interior of the cells, while their hydrophobic tails are against each other, constituting the internal part of the membrane.

Through this lipidic bilayer, some molecules can move from one side of the cell to the other, which happens because of concentration differences. When this occurs, molecules must pass through the hydrophilic layer of phospholipid heads then through the hydrophobic layer of phospholipid tails and then again through another hydrophilic layer of phospholipid heads.
