A genetic engineer wants to isolate a gene from a scorpion that encodes the deadly toxin found in its stinger, with the ultimate

purpose of transferring this gene to bacteria and producing the toxin for use as a commercial pesticide. Isolating the gene requires a DNA library. Should the genetic engineer create a genomic library or a cDNA library

Answer:

The correct answer is - Yes, the genetic engineer should create a genomic library or a cDNA library.

Explanation:

mRNA isolated from the toxin extracted from the venom gland of the scorpion to create a cDNA library. The cDNA sequence is reverse transcribed by the mRNA that lacks the introns as prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria cannot splice introns.

If the engineer wants to express the toxin in bacteria then he required a cDNA sequence as a genomic clone can not use to clone for making proteins.  mRNA should be isolated from the venom gland so it can synthesize cDNA library enriched with toxin protein sequence.

What are proteins that act to speed up chemical reactions?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Enzymes because they are proteins that act as catalysts within living cells. Catalysts increase the rate at which chemical reactions occur without being consumed or permanently altered themselves.

Hope this helps! Please correct me if I'm wrong :)

What is the best explanation for the process of transpiration in plants?​
ra1l [238]

Explanation:

Transpiration, plant breathing, is when plants absorbs water from the roots using the xylem and phloem and takes them to the leaves where they exit as water vapour via the stomata (tiny openings). Through transpiration plants are able to cool themselves and produce their own food using the process of photosynthesis.
