A team of scientists splices a human gene into bacterial plasmids. The human gene codes for insulin. Then the scientists use the

plasmids to transform bacteria. Their goal is to develop bacteria that will synthesize insulin.
How is it useful for the plasmids to also contain genes for antibiotic resistance?

A. The genes for antibiotic resistance increase the rate that bacteria take up the plasmids.
B. The genes for antibiotic resistance act as genetic markers for identifying the transformed bacteria.
C. The genes for antibiotic resistance help activate the gene for insulin.
D. The genes for antibiotic resistance help the transformed bacteria survive in their environment.

Answer: D. The genes for antibiotic resistance help the transformed bacteria survive in their environment.

Explanation:

First and foremost, we should note that plasmids used in the delivery of DNA typically consists of genes which helps in antibiotic resistance.

Based on the question given, we should note that the genes for antibiotic resistance help the transformed bacteria survive in their environment. This is because cells that have been treated with plasmid are able to survive and grow compared to those that have not been treated with plasmid which are eventually killed by the antibiotic.

What is the term for the nucleotide sequences that are removed during mrna processing?
Ne4ueva [31]

The correct answer is: introns

Processing of mRNA is process that occurs only in eukaryotic cells. After the transcription, newly formed mRNA molecule is called and it must be processed into a messenger RNA (mRNA). Processing includes:

• Addition of a 5' cap to the beginning of the RNA

• Polyadenilation- addition of a poly-A tail (tail of A nucleotides) to the end of the RNA

• Splicing- removal of introns and linking the exons

After these steps mRNA is mature and used for the further steps (e.g. translation).

Sometimes some genes are alternatively spliced.

3. Explain the difference between the greenhouse effect and global warming.
Goshia [24]

Global warming is a long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system. And the greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it would be without its atmosphere.
