Bacteria are the most common GMOs because their simple structure permits easy manipulation of their DNA. This manipulation or genetic modification can be completed by series of steps and processes. Using the diagram below, explain the process of how a transgenic bacterium is used in producing large quantity of genetically-engineered insulin for humans which has helped a lot of diabetic patients.

urogenital tract Candida albicans infections?
Disruption of population dynamics allowing the RB
form of Chlamydia to cause tissue damage
Loss of Lactobacillus populations leading to an
increase in the local pH

- Which of the following is NOT true about transduction? The bacteriophage's own viral DNA is the source of new genes for bacterial recombination Pieces of donor bacterial DNA can be inserted into the recipient bacterial cell's chromosome None of the other four answers (All are true statements about transduction) O Genetic recombination can result from bacteriophage (phage) virus infection of bacteria During the assembly of new phage particles, pieces of bacterial DNA are sometimes mistakenly inserted into new virus particles instead of phage (viral) DNAarrow_forwardAs shown , several medical agents are now commercially produced by genetically engineered microorganisms. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of making these agents this way.arrow_forwardRemdesivir is an antiviral drug used to treat SARS-CoV-2 infections. It is a broad-spectrum antiviral, meaning it has activity against many different viruses. Remdesivir can be incorporated into a new RNA chain as a virus replicates and can interfere with the viral replication machinery. Template RNA Elongation New RNA SARS-CoV-2 RNA polymerase Template groove Nucleotide entrance Nucleotides Remdesivir Figure 1. A representation of remdesivir and the viral replication machinery for SARS-CoV-2. 6. Figure 1 shows that remdesivir "mimics” an important component of RNA replication. Which specific component of RNA replication has a structure like that of remdesivir? 7. Propose a hypothesis about how remdesivir might inhibit the virus's replication process.arrow_forward
- Drug resistance in a population of bacteria is inevitable for all of the following reasons EXCEPT.. O Bacteria share genetic material through gene transfer mechanisms of conjugation, transformation and transduction. OBacteria quorum sensing leads to the activation of drug resistant genes. O Bacterial drug resistance genes generally have inducible promoters that are activated when the drug is present. Bacteria mutate rapidly because of radiation and chemical mutagens.arrow_forwardWhich of these variables is the BEST choice for transferring genes into a plant cell? Ti Vector Bacteriophage Plasmid Hfr HIVarrow_forwardWhen an E. coli donor cell duplicates a strand of plasmid DNA, and passes this DNA strand to a recipient E. coli cell, without the use of naked DNA in solution or of a viral vector, this is: an example of horizontal gene transfer by means of lysogenic bacteriophages an example of horizontal gene transfer by means of lytic bacteriophages an example of horizontal gene transfer by means of transformation an example of horizontal gene transfer by means of transduction an example of horizontal gene transfer by means of conjugationarrow_forward

It is not common in the United States. Bacterial genes were introduced into the plant with a tumor inducing plasmid (Ti) It expresses a toxin that can make you sick It contains an Agrobacterium that kills insect pests It expresses a Bacterial toxin that kills insect pests It is a transgenic plantarrow_forwardOne of the reasons why phage therapy has not been applied widely is that bacteria can become resistant to bacteriophages as well, through mutations in genes encoding for specific proteins. What would be a protein in the bacterial cell that, if mutated, would make that cell resistant to phage infection?arrow_forward
