Document Summary
In a eukaryotic cell, the dna content doubles prior to cell division. During cell division, the doubled dna is divided equally between the two daughter cells. Watson and crick be able to list all scientists involved, including who actually performed the x-ray crystallography technique that led to this discovery. Insulin: the gene that encodes for insulin production in humans is snipped out of human dna and inserted the dna of an e. coli bacterium, reproduced quickly, diabetics inject on a daily basis. Hgh-human growth hormone_ produced by the human pituitary gland. Insufficient production of hgh leads to dwarfism, hgh increases protein synthesis, burning of body fat, and growth in nearly every part of the body. Used to combat weight loss in aids patients. ( before 1994, extracted from cadavers). In 1995, recombinant dna technology was used to insert the bacterial gene for production of this spore into the actual plant"s dna.
