Answer: Bacteria lack a mechanism for splicing out introns

Explanation:

Factor VII gene is 186k nucleotides long while the protein is 2332 amino acids long. <u>This lenght discrepancy is due to introns interrupting gene</u>, because the cell first transcribes the entire gene and then cuts introns out of the transcript. At the end, it splices the remaining pieces. Prokaryotes don't perform splicing so it can not edit out introns from the primary mRNA transcript. To produce an eukaryote gene in prokaryotes it is necessary to use a reverse transcriptase to get a cDNA sequence without the introns, and then insert that into a bacterial genome.

You have a plant with yellow seeds, which express a dominant phenotype. How would you determine the plant's genotype? Conduct a
Archy [21]
The answer is <span>Conduct a test cross with a purebred recessive plant. 

</span>

Test cross is the cross between an organism with unknown dominant genotype and an organism with known recessive genotype.

<span>Since dominant trait results from a dominant allele, the test cross can determine if an unknown genotype is heterozygous and homozygous dominant. </span>

If A is dominant allele, and a is recessive allele, then AA is dominant homozygote, Aa is a heterozygote, and aa is recessive homozygote.

<span>According to the Punnett square, if all of the offspring are heterozygote (Aa), then unknown genotype is dominant homozygous (AA). If half of the offspring are the heterozygote, and the other half are recessive homozygote, then the unknown genotype is heterozygote (Aa).</span>
