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.

How is a mantle plume (hot spot) different from volcanoes in the Ring of Fire? How are they similar? Give one specific example o
riadik2000 [5.3K]

The difference between a hot spot volcano and the volcanoes from Ring of Fire can mainly be seen in the way of formation and functioning. The hot spot volcanoes are far away from any tectonic plate boundary and they manage to penetrate the crust over them and come out on the surface to usually create volcanic islands. The activity of the volcanoes from the Ring of Fire depends directly from the activity between the bordering tectonic plates, and as the borders move over time, the volcanoes stop existing, and new ones rise in the direction where the boundary moves.

The similarity can be seen in the type of eruptions, and that usually both types of volcanoes form volcanic islands.

Example for a hot spot volcano is Mauna Loa on Hawaii.
