Question

Scientists have engineered bacteria to produce human proteins, such as human growth hormone (hGH) used to help treat dwarfism. Suppose the unmodified eukaryotic gene coding for hGH is inserted directly into a bacterial chromosome.

Answer 1

No expression would be seen in the bacterial cell for the hGH gene.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bacteria cannot remove the intronic sequence from a gene.so if the gene for hGH where transcribed to the bacteria it would translate to a non functional protein.Also the bacterial RNA Polymerase will not bind to the eukaryotic promoter sequence.
