Question

15. Knowing that the genetic code is almost universal, a scientist uses molecular biological methods to insert the human B-globin gene into bacterial cells, hoping the cells will express it and synthesize functional B-globin protein. Instead, the protein produced is non-functional and is found to contain many fewer amino acids than does B-globin made by a eukaryotic cell. Explain why.

Answer 1

Answer:

The genetic information of living organisms is sequenced in DNA, which allows inheritable factors to be transmitted with each replication process. Proteins play a very important role by intervening in their metabolism during the translation and transcription of information. .

eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms have different evolutionary sequelae that are reflected in the mechanisms they use for DNA translation, such as in the initial stages, lengthening and termination of sequencing, these differences are imparted by the order of the genes, the ribosome and its structural form and the promoter sequences.

In this way we can conclude that although the eukaryotic genes enter into a bacterium, the type of information that they take may arrive incomplete and this may generate subsequent defects for their operation, but there may be processes that guarantee a better transfer of information with the use of genetic engineering and enzyme management to introduce different bacterial genetic expressions with eukaryotic genes.
