bacteria cells – what would be their first step?
If a scientists wants to make a human protein (like insulin) using
bacteria cells – what would be their first step?
Use a restriction enzyme to cut out the human gene and the plasmid

genetic marker
In this gel sample, band 3 moved further than all the other bands.
Why?
In this gel sample, band 3 moved further
than all the other bands. Why?
Moved faster because it is smaller than other
pieces
