27. Bacteria genetically engineered to express a gene
from a plant will
(a) Not be able to synthesise a protein because
translation is coupled with transcription and
post transcriptional processing does not
occur in it.
(b) Not be able to synthesise a protein due to the
presence of exon splicing sequences in the
DNA sequence from the plant
(c) Synthesise a protein with the same sequence
of amino acids as in the plant and therefore
the protein will have the same structure and
function as in the plant
(d) Synthesise a protein with essentially
the same sequence of amino acids as in
the plant with differences relating to different
codon wobble rules between prokaryotes and
eukaryotes.
28. Long distance transport of substance within a
plant cannot be done by diffusion alone. Diffusion
is a slow process. The movement of a molecule
across a typical plant cell is about 50 μm takes
