Multiple Choice
The human gene for a protein hormone has been isolated.Scientists want to introduce this gene into a bacterial host, modifying the bacteria so that it can be used to produce this hormone.After successfully introducing the gene on a plasmid, the bacteria produced the protein hormone, but the protein was defective, longer than normal, with intervening stretches of amino acids not found in the native protein.Which solution would be most likely to resolve this problem?
A) Treat the defective protein with enzymes.
B) Introduce human ribosomes into the bacteria.
C) Start over, introducing a complementary DNA (cDNA) copy of the gene into the bacterial host.
D) Introduce human mRNAs into the bacterial host.
