The following figure provides you with an overview of recombinant technology.The end result is a transgenic bacterium with a human gene that codes for marketable quantities of a human gene product.However,molecular biologists frequently have problems with the product.One problem might be ________.
A)production of a human protein that is unable to function properly
B)formation of a bacterium that cannot synthesize the product
C)a bacterium with DNA that is resistant to restriction enzymes
D)formation of mutants

Question

The following figure provides you with an overview of recombinant technology.The end result is a transgenic bacterium with a human gene that codes for marketable quantities of a human gene product.However,molecular biologists frequently have problems with the product.One problem might be ________. 
A)production of a human protein that is unable to function properly 
B)formation of a bacterium that cannot synthesize the product 
C)a bacterium with DNA that is resistant to restriction enzymes 
D)formation of mutants

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The problem mentioned in the question is related to the final product, which is the human gene product. Therefore, the correct answer should be related to the production of a functional product. Option A suggests the production of a non-functional product, which is a common problem in recombinant technology due to improper folding or post-translational modifications of the protein. Options B, C, and D do not directly address the issue with the final product.
