You are a scientist studying muscle cells. You are interested in making all of the muscle cells of a worm glow green. You have identified a muscle specific protein that is expressed in all muscle cells of the worm. You have also found a protein in jelly fish that glows green. You take all of the DNA from the glowing jelly fish gene between the +1 site and transcription termination, and par it with the promoter from the muscle gene from worms. You then take this new construct (shown below) and insert it into

Thank u!
You are a scientist studying muscle cells. You are interested in making all
of the muscle cells of a worm glow green. You have identified a muscle
specific protein that is expressed in all muscle cells of the worm. You have
also found a protein in jelly fish that glows green. You take all of the DNA
from the glowing jelly fish gene between the +1 site and transcription
termination, and par it with the promoter from the muscle gene from
worms. You then take this new construct (shown below) and insert it into
the genome of your worms using a virus. This virus inserts the DNA in a
random place in the genome.
