What will a bacterium produce when a human gene is added to its genome?
the human protein coded for by the human gene
What is the first step in inserting a new gene into a bacterium?
recombinant DNA
What term describes an individual with two copies of the same allele?
The individual with two of the same allele is "homozygous" for a trait.
Inserting working copies of a gene directly into the cells of a person with a genetic disorder is called what?
Gene TherapyGenetic disorders are caused by an abnormality in person's DNA.
A diploid organism contains how many copies of each gene?
2

In 1973 Stanley Cohen and Herbert Boyer inserted a gene from an African clawed frog into a bacterium. the bacterium then began pthe newly synthesized genetic material found in the frog gene is known a?
Transgenic Organism
What happens when a scientists puts a normal human insulin gene in the DNA of a bacterium?
The insulin is slowly transformed into the bacterium as C6H12O6 is combined with the insulin to create this product. I know, I'm a biologist.
How was a bacteria first used to copy gene?
Researchers put genes from a frog into the bacterium Escherichia Coli.
How many copies of a recessive gene does it take to overpower a dominant gene?
It takes 8 copies of a recessive gene to overpeower dominant gene
How can a large volume of protein e.g. insulin be produced from a single bacterium?
The gene for insulin can be inserted into the bacterial chromosome. The bacteria is then left to multiply normally, which thus produces many copies of the gene and lots of insulin. This is how they produce the insulin used by people who have diabetes.
A transgenic organism that has extra copies of a gene produces more of RNA the that is coded for by the gene?
A transgenic organism that has extra copies of a gene produces more of the DNA that is coded for by that gene
What will a bacterium produce when a human gene is added to its genome?
the human protein coded for by the human gene
What is gene cloning?
The production of multiple copies of a single gene.
How many copies of the beta globin gene do people have?
Most individuals have two normal copies of the beta globin gene
A scientist wants to instert a new gene into bacterium what is the first step in this process?
cutting the gene out of DNA with enzymes
Why must you use an enzyme that will not cut anywhere within the gene that you are inserting into a plasmid?
If you are trying to take a gene from a DNA strand and put insert it into a plasmid, you wouldn't want a restriction enzyme to cut that gene up, or else it would be pretty useless. In other words, you need an enzyme or two that cuts outside that gene so that it can be functional after it's inserted into a plasmid. After your gene of interest is inserted into a plasmid, the plasmid can be put back into a bacterium, then you could genetically engineer plants with it or let the bacterium reproduce and produce many copies of a protein that you had wanted to make in the first place.
