scientists have engineered bacteria to produce human proteins, such as human growth hormone (hgh) used to help treat dwarfism. suppose the unmodified eukaryotic gene coding for hgh is inserted directly into a bacterial chromosome. select the reasons why no expression would be seen in the bacterial cell for the hgh gene. the gene will induce attenuation in the bacterial cell, which will cause a delay in the transcription and translation of the hgh gene. bacteria cannot remove intronic sequence from a gene, so if the gene for hgh were transcribed, it would translate to a nonfunctional protein. the bacterial nucleoid does not have the proper proteins to transcribe the eukaryotic gene. the bacteria will not recognize the eukaryotic promoter to transcribe the gene.
