Why can bacteria express human genes?
It is my understanding that often eukariotic (multicellular organisms like humans) genes do not "work"(that is, cannot be translated) in prokariotes(bacteria) because bacteria are very very simple compaired to eukaria. Eukaria have complecated structures and mechanisms for the transcription and translation of DNA, bacteria only have plasmids and ribosomes. However, we have been able to get bacteria to use some human genes, most notably the gene to make insulin. Because eukariotic DNA has introns(random, useless segments of DNA) that are removed by special machinery before it is transcribed, scientists must remove all of the introns before inserting the DNA into the bacteria. They do this by obtaining mRNA from a human before it is transcribed in the ribosome, and using the enzyme reverse transcriptase(an enzyme in retroviruses such as HIV) to reverse transcribe the mRNA into cDNA("complementary" DNA that does not contain introns). cDNA can be spliced into a bacterium, and we can often make the genes "work" in bacteria. To answer the question, the genetic code is the same in every organism, so we can make human genes work in bacteria.
Viruses frequently infect bacteria and insert new genes into the genetic material of the bacteria When these infected bacteria reproduce asexually which genes would most likely be passed on?
Both the original and the new genes
Gene cloning can involve inserting genes into?
bacteria
The information in DNA is contained in what?
DNA inside Genes, Genes inside Chromosomes, Chromosones inside Necleus of a cell unless the cell is a bacteria. Bacteria dont have nuclei.
How many genes are present in human body?
There are estimated to be 26000 genes after completing the human genome project.
The use of genetic engineering to transfer human genes into bacteria?
This results in bacteria expressing human proteins or genes.
All bacteria can express foreign genes at the same rate?
False
Do genes predict everything about a person why?
yes because genes have the ability to express the traits in human

Scientists have successfully transformed bacteria with human genes Describe one current use of the technology in medicine?
Human genes can be inserted into a bacteria and produce large numbers of human proteins on an industrial state!!
Why can Bacteria are able to produce human proteins?
They reproduce quickly, so they often produce much of the desired protein in a short time.
What are genes How do they differ from bacteria?
some genes are skinny some are boot cut but bacteria are bacteria
What is an example of a transgenic organisms?
A transgenic organisms has one or more genes from another organism inserted into its genome.Transgenic bacteria with the gene for human insulin make human insulin that is used to treat people with Diabetes.
What have scientists discovered about simple genes like bacteria?
Bacteria are living organisms not genes, your question does not make sense.
The fact that human genes inserted into bacteria produce proteins shows that shows that humans are trangenic organisms TRUE OR FALSE?
true
What should the bacteria be able to do now that it has recominant DNA inside of it?
the bacterium should be able to transcribe the recombinant DNA and express the traits that the genes on the recombinant DNA code for.
Viruses frequently infect bacteria and insert new genes into the genetic material of the bacteria When these infected bacteria reproduce asexually which genes would most likely be passed on?
Both the original and the new genes
