Question

Short paragraphs only:

1. Distinguish between traditional biotechnology and molecular biotechnology.

11. Sometimes the strategy for the expression of a target protein in a host organism involves synthesizing the protein as part of a fusion protein. Why is this approach useful? How is a fusion protein created?

14. A specific target DNA fragment to be integrated into the chromosomal DNA of the host organism can include (1) only the target gene sequence or (2) the entire plasmid, including the target sequence. Explain how each of these results might occur. What are the advantages or disadvantages of the plasmid vector becoming incorporated into the host chromosomal DNA?

18. How can E. coli host cells be engineered so that complex proteins with a large number of disulfide bonds are properly folded and therefore produced in an active form rather than as part of an inclusion body?

Explanation / Answer

According to the Chegg guidelines I'll answer the first question when more than one question is posted. Post them separately to get the answers.

1) Traditional biotechnology involves plant breeding and selection method whole molecular biotechnology involves genetic engineering.

The goal of traditional biotechnology is to meet the food and field needs of the world while goal of molecular biotechnology is to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the methods.

Traditional biotechnology involves fermentation, plant tissue culture, micropropagation and traditional selection while molecular biotechnology involves recombinant dna technology, protoplast fusion and direct introduction of dna into cells.
