What are the advantages to using prokaryotic as host systems for genetic engineering? What are the limitations to genetic engine

ering in prokaryotes? Are these limitations addressable in single cell eukaryotic systems? Give an example of bioproduction in each system.

Answer and Explanation:

The manipulation of the gene is called genetic engineering. In genetic engineering, fragments of genes are cloned by leading the genes into the host cell. The advantage of using a prokaryotic host system in genetic engineering is that bacterial cells are used to produce commercially significant products. For example, human growth hormone helps to treat dwarfism, and human insulin production, which is used to treat diabetes. The bacterium P.putida is created by genetic engineering, which is used to break down petroleum products. Genetic engineering also carries some potential risks, such as transferring the selected gene into another speice, benefit one species can harm another speice. Therefore genetic engineering must be used in limit in prokaryotes. These limitations are also addressable in single-cell eukaryotic systems. Biologics-based therapeutic medicines such as a vaccine, gene therapies, and cell therapies known as bioproduction are produced. Medicines are so complex that they can only be formed in a living system. Biopharmaceuticals, value-added food, fuels, chemicals, antibiotics, and many other products are produced by bioproduction.

Suppose that in another world, DNA does not undergo semiconservative replication, but instead a conservative mechanism is used.
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

c. ¼ heavy, ¾ light

Explanation:

DNA replication follows semi conservative model which means that both the strands separate during replication and the newly formed DNA molecule has one old and one new strand. If instead of semi conservative, conservative mechanism is used, old strands will not separate from each other and the two newly synthesised DNA strands will come together to form a DNA molecule.

Here the cells were first grown in heavy 15N medium so all the DNA molecules had 15N and thus were heavy. Then the cells were transferred to 14N medium where only lighter 14N were available for replication process.

In first generation, 14N DNA molecules were synthesised from 15N DNA molecules so 1/2 DNA molecules were 15N and other half were 14N. In the second generation, 14N molecules will give rise to new 14N molecules and 15N molecules will also give rise to 14N molecules hence 1/4 molecules will be 15N (heavy) and 3/4 will be 14N (light).
