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.

The peripheral nervous system is involved in _____.
drek231 [11]

The peripheral nervous system is involved in both <u>voluntary and involuntary actions.</u>

Explanation:

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is the neural system that resides outside the central nervous system (CNS). This contains nerves which in turn connect with the organs of the body like the sensory organs, glands, blood vessels, muscles etc with the central nervous system (CNS).

The PNS is divided into somatic and autonomic nervous systems.

The somatic nervous system contains sensory and motor nerve fibers which send sensory information and controls motor functions respectively. The voluntary movements of skin, skeletal muscles, bones, and joints are controlled by somatic PNS.

The autonomic nervous system composed of sympathetic, parasympathetic and enteric nervous systems controls the involuntary actions of smooth muscles of the internal visceral organs.

When a plant is genetically identical to its parent plant what is this called
tamaranim1 [39]

Hello! My name is Zalgo and I am here to help you out on this amazing day. The way that the younger plant looks the same as the parent plant is because of "Asexual Reproduction". Asexual Reproduction is how plants can reproduce. Considering it is a plant and not a human asexual means that plants reproduce without the need of "sexual intercourse".

I hope that this helps! :P
