Plasmids are used in genetic engineering to reproduce RECOMBINANT genetic material. When a plasmid is inserted a bacterium, the bacterum is encouraged to multiply, creating more copies of the recombinant DNA.

It is a circular piece of DNA that acts as a vector (a carrier of the gene). it attaches to the gene that is to be genetically engineered to form recombinant DNA (combined DNA of two different organisms). It allows the gene to be carried to a host cell to be replicated producing many identical genes. To cut open the plasmid requires an enzyme called restriction endonuclease and to stick the gene into the plasmid requires an enzyme called ligase

One of the major categories of receptors in the plasma membrane reacts by forming dimers,adding phosphate groups, and then activ
Vilka [71]

Answer:

D) receptor tyrosine kinases

Explanation:

Protein kinase receptors are simply saying receptors with associated kinases (usually tyrosine kinases).

Protein kinases are enzymes that have the ability to modulate other enzymes (or some other proteins) by adding the phosphate group. This is known as phosphorilation process. As a result of structural change, protein can change its activity (phosphorilation usually increase the activity).

Such receptors are involved in a many processes within an organism that are important for the cellular growth, differentiation, metabolism

This interprets an RNA message into a string of amino acids called a polypeptide. Either single polypeptide or many polypeptides
vovangra [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is - translation

Explanation:

The translation is the second process involved in the protein synthesis in which mRNA that was encoded the genetic information from the DNA code during the transcription process, produces the amino acid sequence with the help of ribosome and tRNA.

These RNA messages or codes are decoded by the ribosome that produces a specific sequence of codes that form specific amino acid decided by the triplet code they produces. These amino acids together form polypeptides chain and single polypeptide or many polypeptides working together make up a protein.
