You want to engineer a eukaryotic gene into a bacterial colony so the bacteria express the gene. What must be included in addition to the coding exons of the gene?

Respuesta :

Answer:

A bacterial promoter sequence

Explanation:

Bacterial  

1.  Promoters contain specific DNA sequences that provide initial binding site for RNA polymerase and also for proteins  named transcription factors that helps in bringing RNA polymerase to the DNA.  

2. Eukaryotes and prokayotes have different promoters.

3. So, in bacteria, if we want to express a eukaryotic gene, we must include a bacterial promoter, because without promoter, the polymerase can not bind.
