How does an expression vector differ from a regular cloning vector?
An expression vector does not have an origin of replication.
An expression vector is always a linear molecule, while a cloning vector may be circular.
An expression vector has the ability to have the inserted DNA be transcribed.
An expression vector must be of viral origin, so that it can infect a cell naturally.
Which of the following is not a potential benefit of creating a fusion protein in genetic engineering?
If a signal peptide is included, the protein may be excreted from the cell, making it easier to isolate.
If certain sequences are produced (for example, a histidine oligopeptide), the protein may be isolated by affinity chromatography.
The protein is less likely to be antigenic.
Both signal peptides and histidine oligomers are useful.
All of these reasons are benefits to the protein product.
The following steps are all involved in genetic recombination: 1. Screening for cells that contain the recombined gene. 2. Cutting the vector with restriction enzyme. 3.
