How is bacteria used to make insulin?
Human plasmids introduced into the bacteria stimulate insulin production. A special enzyme is used to cut out the insulin gene from a human cell. It is attached to a bacterial chromosome which is also split open by an enzyme. The gene is then transferred into a bacterial cell. The gene makes the bacterial cell produce insulin.
Give an example of a transgenic bacteria?
Transgenic bacteria, being artificial in their genetic codes, are found in abundance in the scientific community. They are derived from the natural bacterial species and a gene inserted into them makes them transgenic. This gene insert is done to obtain some specific function, like the production of some important pharmacological product. An example of this would be the bacteria used to produce synthetic insulin. The bacterial names vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, but the base organism used is E. coli.
Which molecule from humans is inserted into bacteria to cause them to produce insulin?
No. When genes from humans are inserted into bacteria, the bacteria acts as factories that produce chemicals of importance to humans, such as insulin.
A scientist is trying to find a method to artificially produce a protein that is found in a chicken's liver. Once the scientist has isolated the gene responsible for the protein how can he or she make?
Insert the gene into bacteria. -Apex
How do bacteria clone?
bacteria regenerates by cloning, their behaviour will be same and will become smaller, grow again, and again clones, it happens by... in a microscope it will look like a bactiria is been cut into two and will look smaller.
How might a plasmid be used to alter characteristics of an organism?
A plasmid is a circular double stranded DNA usually found in bacteria. Most of them do not have specific functions and altering them does not hamper the bacteria possesing them. A gene of interest can be annealed to this plasmid so as to make the concerned bacteria produce a particular product. Since the bacteria can now produce a new product, the plasmid has been used to alter the characteristics of the organism.
How are bacteria used to treat people with diabetes?
bacteria itself is not the treatment. we use the bacteria to produce insulin, we do so by inserting the gene into their plasmids and trigger them to produce the insulin. the insulin is extracted and used.
What is the role of antibiotic resistance gene in recombinant DNA technology?
Uñderstand by example: Bacteria that have pSC 101 plasmid, this plasmid have antibiotic resistant gene for tetracycline.when gene of interest in attached to plasmid to produce clone to get many genes of interest, it is placed in a medium contaning tetracycline for culturing bacteria(bactria made colonies which would separate out and remain safe because of they have resistance against tetracycline while other phothogen donot häve)
What is luxCDABE?
luxCDABE is the name of a bacterial operon. It is a sequence of genes whoms gene product produce blue light. If you put this piece of genetic material inside a bacteria, it will light up in blue.

What kind of plant will produce the same gene called?
The offspring of a plant that has all the same genes is called a clone. The same is true for animals.
Why is it important to isolate and clone diseased gene?
Scientist must isolate and clone diseased genes in order to study them. A clone of the gene allows scientist to find an exact cure.

Why do transgenic bacteria that have the gene for human insulin produce insulin produce in great abundance?
bacteria reproduce quickly. The more transgenic bacteria there are, the more insulin is produced. (I am taking an online Biology course and this question was asked, and this was the answer the online class gave me)
From which bacteria did scientists isolate a gene to help produce a genetically engineered cotton that resists boll-worm?
