Knowing that the genetic code is almost universal, a scientist uses molecular biological methods to insert the human - globin gene (shown in the figure below (Links to an external site.)) into bacterial cells, hoping the cells will express it and synthesize functional - globin protein. Instead, the protein produced is nonfunctional and is found to contain many fewer amino acids than does -globin made by a eukaryotic cell. Explain why and give thoughts as to how to overcome this.

Knowing that the genetic code is almost universal, a scientist uses molecular biological methods to insert the human β-globin gene (Shown in Figure 17.11) into bacterial cells, hoping the cells will express it and synthesize functional β-globin protein. Instead, the protein produced is nonfunctional and is found to contain many fewer amino acids than does β-globin made by a eukaryotic cell. Explain why.
The sequence below shows the non-coding strand from the whole of the transcribed region of a very short gene. 5’-GGCTTCTTTAGTACTGGCCAGTGGGATCCAAGTAGGCTGCCATTTCGT-3’ Write out the sequence of the mRNA from this gene in the orientation 5′ → 3′ and, using the genetic code (see Fig. 1. overleaf) deduce the amino acid sequence of the peptide it encodes (NB you should read about the operation of the genetic code prior to attempting this question).
helpp, if u could do this one first please
