B)  Decrease the number of insertions in the vector. 
C)  Produce the protein as a fusion protein. 
D)  Switch to an expression host with a larger intracellular volume.

Question 3

What makes eukaryotic transcripts easier to isolate than bacterial transcripts?

Accepted Answer

A)  Eukaryotic transcripts are not methylated but their genes are often methylated. 
B)  Larger transcript size in eukaryotes enables easy size-selection methods. 
C)  mRNA is polyadenylated in eukaryotes.
