Chapter 8, Problem 14Q
Summary Introduction

To examine:

The reason that it is advisable to use reverse transcriptase to create DNA from a mRNA transcript when preparing eukaryotic genes for use in the bacterial cell.

Introduction:

DNA consists of a sequence of nucleotides, which encodes mRNA followed by protein. The coding region of DNA is responsible for protein production is termed as an exon, and the region of DNA which does not code for any protein is termed as an intron.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The reason that bacterial cells do not use eukaryotic DNA directly

Introduction:

RNA processing involves splicing followed by cleavage. RNA editing in eukaryotic cells removes the non-coding intervening (intron) sequence from the transcribed RNA and results in the functional protein. This protein regulates the healthy development of the body in a eukaryotic organism.
