You are trying to program E. coli bacteria to generate N-acylethanolamide, lipids that have been found to help suppress appetite

. In order to do this, you need to transfer the gene for the enzyme N-acyltransferase from the plant Arabidopsis Thaliana into the E.coli bacteria.
The transgene, which codes for ***********, will also need to have a**********
for RNA polymerase and a ********** that would fluoresce to let you know the insertion was successful. You would also need a********** , a small circular piece of bacterial DNA.
Then you would hunt for a *********** that would cut the plasmid once and also cut the transgene out from its host.

Answer:

The transgene, which codes for N-acylethanolamide, will also need to have a transcription initiation site for RNA polymerase and a selectable marker (reporter gene) that would fluoresce to let you know the insertion was successful. You would also need a plasmid, a small circular piece of bacterial DNA. Then you would hunt for restriction enzymes that would cut the plasmid once and also cut the transgene out from its host.

Explanation:

A transgene can be defiend as a gene (in this case, the N-acylethanolamide gene) which has been transferred by using genetic engineering techniques from one organism to another. The RNA polymerase is an enzyme required to copy a DNA sequence (e.g., a gene) into an RNA sequence, during transcription. RNA polymerases bind to specific DNA sequences called transcription initiation sites on the DNA template, and this binding triggers the initiation of the transcription. A plasmid is a small circular DNA molecule separated from chromosomal DNA which is capable of replicating independently of the chromosomal DNA. Plasmids are widely used in genetic engineering to clone/transfer/manipulate transgenes. During transgenesis, the plasmid is cut with a specific restriction enzyme in order to ligate the transgene of interest into the plasmid. Finally, the green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene is a selectable marker (i.e., a reporter gene) that indicates which cells were successfully modified because its expression can be detected without any substrates.

Why is RNA polymerase a good name for the enzyme that carries out transcription
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

RNA Polymerase plays an important role in the process called transcription which result in the in the synthesis of RNA from DNA molecule.

Explanation:

RNA polymerase helps in the addition of ribonucleotides in the growing RNA strans that is synthesized from template DNA .

      one ribonucleotide is joined to the adjacent ribonucleotide by the formation of phosphodiester bond.

      RNA polymerase is named so because this enzyme helps in the polymerization of ribonucleotides leading to the formation of a Primary RNA transcript.

What is an effect of adaptive radiation?
Semenov [28]
I'd have to say it'd be the dramatic increase in the diversity of the population gene pool.The increased diversity can lead, in time, to a dramatic increase in the number of distinct species in an environment.
