organelles prominent in in a bacterium genetically engineered to produced human blood-clotting factorVIII?

Question

and explain the function. ( do not use nucleus, plasma membrane, or cell wall as answers.

Answer 1

Human blood-clotting factor is a protein, and proteins are generally manufactured in the Golgi body, so I'm going to go with that. If the modified cell has those genes forced into the always-on position (which is probably what they'd want to do), then it's probably going to develop a particularly large Golgi apparatus to accomodate (link 1).

For the record, human blood-clotting factor VIII is generally produced from engineered hamster ovaries, not bacteria (link 2).

Answer 2

Bacteria don't contain membrane bound organelles like eukaryote do, but they still have ways of getting the job done. I think what you are referring to are plasmids. A plasmid is a ring of DNA separate from the main DNA of the bacteria. It is possible by different methods to introduce foreign plasmids into a bacterium. Once inside, the plasmid will be transcribed like any other DNA. So if you were to insert a plasmid with the gene for factor VIII then the bacteria would start producing it.

Answer 3

hrm.. human clotting factor VIII is produced in chinese hamster ovary cells, not bacterial cells. As for how; once the plasmid containing the gene to produce factor VIII was transfected to the hampster cell, it goes about producing the complex the same way a human cell would.

Answer 4

Sorry, I don´t understand the question. Besides, a bacterium does not have organelles...

Answer 5

bacteria do not have organelles
