Expert Solution
Step 1


Explanation:

    -A fluorescent fusion protein can indeed be produced by fusing a fluorescent molecule with a non-fluorescent protein. Through a procedure known as genetic engineering, this is possible. The process of altering an organism's traits by modifying its genes is known as genetic engineering. In this instance, fluorescent proteins are created by manipulating their genes.
   

- A fluorescent protein's plasma coding is not necessarily fluorescent. However, a fluorescent protein can be seen right away after the plasmid that codes for it are inserted into a cell. This is possible because the plasmid can splice the fluorescent protein coding into the cell's genome.
 

 - By swapping out the sequence in the plasmid that codes for the fluorescent protein with one that codes for a fluorescent protein of a different hue, it is also feasible to produce a fluorescent fusion protein of a different color. To accomplish this, use a separate plasmid that encodes for a different fluorescent protein color.
 

-  During the transcription of genes, proteins are not produced. The process of copying a gene from DNA to RNA is called transcription. Proteins are then produced using RNA.
