What is an advantage of molecular pharming compared to expression of mammalian proteins in bacteria?


A) molecular pharming is less complex because it does not require the use of plasmid vectors
B) molecular pharming produces fewer waste products because the protein yield is smaller than when using bacteria
C) molecular pharming is less expensive than producing proteins in bacteria
D) molecular pharming is less complex because post-translational modifications do not occur in mammals
E) proteins are more likely to function properly when expressed in mammals than when expressed in bacteria

Target DNA: 5' - CCGGATCAATCAATGCCGAATTTCCGTATAGGGCCTAGTAG - 3' 3' - GGCCTAGTTAGTTACGGCTTAAAGGCATATCCCGGATCATC - 5' Primer 1: 5' - GATCAA - 3' Primer 2: 5' - CGGAAA - 3'


A) There will be around a billion DNA molecules and most will look just like the template
5' - CCGGATCAATCAATGCCGAATTTCCGTATAGGGCCTAGTAG - 3'
3' - GGCCTAGTTAGTTACGGCTTAAAGGCATATCCCGGATCATC - 5'
B) There will be around a billion DNA molecules and most will be single stranded,either

What is the most likely consequence of using a plasmid that lacks an origin of replication for a gene cloning project?


A) No recombinant plasmids will be created because the plasmid is only capable of re-circularizing.
B) Bacteria containing the plasmid will not be able to grow in the presence of antibiotics.
C) The plasmid will not be cut with restriction enzymes.
D) Multiple copies of the gene of interest will not be produced because the plasmid will be lost during bacterial division.
E) The plasmid will not be useful in producing a protein because it will lack an RNA polymerase binding sitE.
