Suppose that you would like to make a human protein in bacteria. you clone a fragment of genomic dna that contains the human gene into a plasmid, transform the plasmid into the bacteria, and isolate colonies containing the recombinant plasmid. which of the following results would you expect from this experiment? select all that apply:

1.the bacteria could produce a truncated, nonfunctional human protein

2.the bacteria could produce no human protein

3.the bacteria could produce a much longer protein with an incorrect amino acid sequence

4.the bacteria could produce a normal, functioning human protein

Compare and contrast region e in the illustration above with region d. describe the physical characteristics of each region.

The human genome project is devoted to mapping the general dna sequence of our species. this could lead to the development of new medicines, as well as the possibility of using gene therapy to treat certain diseases. however, there are some ethical issues surrounding the mapping of individual genomes. one concern is a) that your genes may change over time, making the project useless. b) that insurance companies could discriminate based on genetic make-up. c) that since this has never been done before, we should probably not do it now. d) that sequencing our individual genomes is so expensive, it is a counter-productive strategy.
