A Scientist Uses Recombinant Technology to Take a Eukaryotic Promoter

question 22

Multiple Choice

A scientist uses recombinant technology to take a eukaryotic promoter and place it in front of a bacterial structural gene.What is the most likely outcome on bacterial gene expression?

• A)Bacterial gene expression will increase because both prokaryotic and eukaryotic genes are based on the same four nucleotides.
• B)Bacterial gene expression will not occur because RNA polymerase enzymes between prokaryotes and eukaryotes are incompatible.
• C)Bacterial gene expression will increase because eukaryotic RNA polymerase has analogous function to prokaryotic RNA polymerase.
• D)Bacterial gene expression will decrease slightly because prokaryotic RNA polymerase cannot transcribe eukaryotic genes as efficiently as prokaryotic genes.
