A bacterial cell has been genetically modified to have a plasmid that contains a gene that codes for human growth hormone (HGH). Which of these statements correctly assesses what happens with the bacterial cell after transformation with the plasmid? You may select all that apply
A) the original bacterial cell will produce HGH
B) the offspring of the transformed bacteria will produce high HGH
C) HGH can be isolated from bacterial cultures and used as a pharmaceutical
D) the bacteria will not be able to replicate the plasmid and cannot express the gene
E) the bacterial cell can replicate the plasmid but will be unable to transcribe and translate the gene

Answer:

A) the original bacterial cell will produce HGH

B) the offspring of the transformed bacteria will produce high HGH

C) HGH can be isolated from bacterial cultures and used as a pharmaceutical

Explanation:

Hope this helps :)

The plasmid is the circular extrachromosomal DNA that is used in genetic engineering. In the given scenario the original bacterial cell will produce HGH, it can be isolated from bacterial cultures, and the offspring of the transformed bacteria will yield high HGH.

What is genetic engineering?

Genetic engineering is the process that uses technologies that are laboratory-based to alter the DNA buildup of an organism.

It involves modification through plasmids also which are used to transfer the foreign sequences to different cell types.

The plasmid is inserted through transfusion in bacteria.

In the given scenario, after genetically modifying, the human growth hormone, the following can be the consequence.

  • The original bacterial cell will produce HGH.
  • The offspring of the transformed bacteria will produce high HGH.
  • HGH can be isolated from bacterial cultures and used as a pharmaceutical.

Thus, the correct options are A, B, and C.
