A gene that codes for a protein was removed from a eukaryotic cell and inserted into a prokaryotic cell. Although the gene was s

uccessfully transcribed, the protein translated from this transcript was different from the protein produced in the eukaryotic cell. What is the most likely explanation?
1.There are slight differences in the genetic code for prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
2.Unlike eukaryotes, which have three different RNA polymerases, prokaryotes have a single RNA polymerase.
3.Eukaryotic genes often contain introns while prokaryotic genes do not.
4.Eukaryotic transcripts have a 5' cap while prokaryotic transcripts do not.

Answer:

Option (3).

Explanation:

The process of the transcription and translation is quite different in case of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Transcription and translation is couple together in prokaryotes whereas it takes place in separate compartment in case of eukaryotes.

The gene has been transferred from the eukaryotes to prokaryote but the protein produced is quite different. This might occur due to the presence of introns in the eukaryotes whereas prokaryotes do not have introns. In case of eukaryotes, the protein express after the splicing process but no splicing occurs in prokaryotes and give different product.  

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).

Answer:

The phenomenon seen by the students is Osmosis.

Explanation:

Osmosis is the movement of molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. This type of movement of molecules occurs in the body cells. When the concentration of molecules is higher outside the cell than the inside, the molecules goes inside the cell through semi-permeable membrane.

1) Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is thought of as the "molecular currency" for energy transfer within the cell. Function: ATPs are used as the main energy source for metabolic functions. They are consumed by energy-requiring (endothermic) processes and produced by energy-releasing (exothermic) processes in the cell and Cells store energy in the form of ATP; cells make 36 ATP through cellular respiration.

2) Energy is normally stored long term as carbohydrate, in plants the storage polymer is starch whereas in animals the storage polymer is glycogen. Both of these are formed from the monomer alpha-glucose (C6H12O6). When energy is required by the cell, storage polymers are hydrolysed to yield glucose molecules, which are the starting point of respiration, a series of chemical regions yielding ATP, the universal cellular energy release molecule.
