Scientists Can Create Transgenic Organisms by Inserting Foreign DNA Randomly

question 12

Essay

Scientists can create transgenic organisms by inserting foreign DNA randomly into the chromosomes of a host. A scientist might do this in order to express genes carried in the foreign DNA and in this case the foreign DNA is often engineered to include insulator sequences at the ends of the foreign sequence. Explain why insulators would be useful in this context.
