The human insulin gene contains a number of sequences that are removed in the processing of the mrna transcript. in spite of the fact that bacterial cells cannot excise these sequences from mrna transcripts, explain how a gene like this can be cloned into a bacterial cell and produce insulin.

In order to produce human insulin in a bacterium you need to isolate the mature mRNA (after the excision of the introns), produce a DNA copy using the enzyme retrotranscriptase, clone the gene in an expression vector and transform bacterial cells with this genetic construct to produce the insulin.

Explanation:

Eukaryotic cells perform a process called splicing, in which introns (the non-coding fragments of the gene). are excised from the mRNA Prokaryotic cells (i.e. bacteria) don’t perform this process. So, in order to produce a recombinant protein in a bacterium, insulin in this case, the best strategy should be to produce a complementary DNA (cDNA) of the mature mRNA (AFTER the splicing process, the excising of the introns).

the framers of the constitution insisted that federal judges be nominated instead of elected due to their desire to have judges above the shifting whims of the masses.

the hope, whether achieved or not, was that federal judges would only be beholden to the law and that by not having judges be elected, they would be protected if that law dictated an outcome that ran counter to popular opinion.
