(C) The option 鈥渘ucleic acid hybridization鈥 is false.

(D)The option 鈥渞estriction fragment ligation鈥 is false.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Gene

Genes are the basic fundamental units of heredity. Some genes are also expressed in the form of protein that is the main ingredient of the structure and function of an organism.

Many genes do not express in any protein; these genes are called introns. Coding genes are known as exons. All introns and exons make a genome of an organism.

02

Explanation of option ‘(A)’

In a bacterial cell, eukaryotic genes do not express due to introns because it lacks a mechanism of post-transcriptional processing that removes introns. So a complimentary copy of mRNA of eukaryotic gene produced by reverse transcriptase is expressed in a bacterial cell because it does not contain introns.

Thus, post-transcription processing is not found in the bacterial cell that is the hurdle in the expression of the eukaryotic gene in a bacterial cell.

Therefore, the given option is true.

03

Explanation of option ‘(B)’

Post-translational processing is not a hurdle in the expression of the eukaryotic gene into a bacterial cell because bacteria have some amounts of protein modification. The proteins that do not require modification of their genes can be expressed in a bacterial cell.

Thus,post-translational processing does not involve mRNA and transcriptase to express a eukaryotic gene in a bacterial cell.

Therefore, the given option is false.

04

Explanation of option ‘(C)’

Expression of the eukaryotic gene into a bacterial cell will need introns free genes that require an mRNA and reverse transcriptase to produce a cDNA.

Thus, nucleic acid hybridization is not a hurdle in the expression of eukaryotic gene in bacterial cell.

Therefore, the given statement is false.

05

Explanation of option ‘(D)’

Restriction fragment ligation is the process that is used in DNA technology for the cloning of genes of both types of organisms that are eukaryotes and prokaryotes.

Thus, restriction fragment ligation can be done in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes.

Therefore, the given statement is false.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Plants are more readily manipulated by genetic engineering than are animals because

(A) plant genes do not contain introns.

(B) more vectors are available for transferring recombinant

DNA into plant cells.

(C) a somatic plant cell can often give rise to a complete

plant.

(D) plant cells have larger nuclei.

Looking at Figure 20.15, what does it mean for a SNP to be 鈥渓inked鈥 to a disease-associated allele? How does this allow the SNP to be used as a genetic marker?(See Concept 15.3.)

Imagine you want to study one of the human crystallins, proteins present in the lens of the eye (see Figure 1.8). To obtain a sufficient amount of the protein of interest, you decide to clone the gene that codes for it. Assume you know the sequence of this gene. Explain how you would go about this.

What is the advantage of using stem cells for gene therapy or gene editing?

The water in the Yellowstone National Park hot springs shown here is around 160掳F (70掳C). Biologists assumed that no species of organisms couldlive in water above about 130掳F (55掳C), so they were surprised to find several species of bacteria there, now called thermophiles(鈥渉eat-lovers鈥). You鈥檝e learned in this chapter how an enzyme from one species, Thermus aquaticus, made feasible one of the most important DNA-based techniques used in labs today.Identify the enzyme, and indicate the value of its being isolated from a thermophile. Suggest other reasons why enzymes from this bacterium (or other thermophiles) might also be valuable.
