Researchers put genes from a frog into the bacterium Escherichia Coli.
The human gene that codes for insulin is inserted into bacteria to produce insulin. The gene is typically inserted into a plasmid vector, which allows the bacteria to express the human insulin gene and produce insulin. This technique is used in biotechnology to create recombinant bacteria that can produce insulin for medical use.
The gene commonly used to identify bacteria carrying a plasmid is the beta-lactamase gene, which confers resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics. Bacteria harboring plasmids with this gene can be identified by growing them on agar plates containing beta-lactam antibiotics and observing which colonies survive.
The ampr gene encodes for the enzyme beta-lactamase, which confers resistance to ampicillin in bacteria. This gene is often used as a selectable marker in molecular biology experiments to identify transformed cells that have taken up a plasmid with the gene.
Eukaryotes utilize mechanisms such as chromatin remodeling, alternative splicing, and RNA interference to regulate gene expression, which are not commonly used in bacteria. These mechanisms allow for more complex and nuanced control of gene expression in eukaryotic cells.
Plasmids are extra circular genetic material that can be passed from bacteria to bacteria, which basically is their function; in bacterial conjugation. But, in biotechnology it is often used in recombination work. Some other organisms gene is inserted into the bacterial plasmid and then the bacteria multiply and transcribe this inserted gene into many useful products.

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.

Bacteria harboring plasmids with this gene can be identified by growing them on agar plates containing beta-lactam antibiotics and observing which colonies survive.
If antibiotic resistance is added to the gene being cloned, antibiotics can be used to isolate the transformed bacteria (ones with the gene being cloned) by killing off all non-transformed bacteria, that don't have the antibiotic resistance. There is a chance that the non-transformed bacteria can mutate to develop antibiotic resistance.

16S rRNA is used as a molecular marker to identify bacteria because it is a highly conserved gene that is present in all bacteria, allowing for comparisons between different species. This gene also contains regions that are unique to specific bacterial groups, making it a useful tool for distinguishing between different types of bacteria.
Eukaryotes utilize mechanisms such as chromatin remodeling, alternative splicing, and RNA interference to regulate gene expression, which are not commonly used in bacteria. These mechanisms allow for more complex and nuanced control of gene expression in eukaryotic cells.
Hemizygous - has 1/1 copy of the allele Heterozygous - has 1/2 copies of the alleleHomozygous - has 2/2 copies of the allele

Gene therapy is designed to introduce genetic material into cells to compensate for abnormal genes, or to make a beneficial protein. If a mutated gene causes a necessary protein to be faulty or missing, gene therapy may be able to introduce a normal copy of the gene, restoring the function of the protein. Viruses are used in gene therapy as vectors that are genetically engineered to deliver the new copy of the gene by infecting the cell.
Recombinant DNA technology, DNA is inserted into bacteria, it can be used to make large quantities of the desired protein., and it had its origins in two related fields. the first, microbial genetics, studies mechanisms by which microorganisms inherit traits. the second, molecular biology, specially studies how genetic information is carried in molecules of DNA and how DNA directs the synthesis of protein.
