Question

1. researchers have discovered a novel bacterial strain that can decompose plastics. the researchers would like to determine if the bacteria are able to do this because of the plastics gene (known bacterial enzyme with known gene sequence). describe the different techniques these researchers could make use of to answer their question

Answer 1

By Transcription methods that can be used for it to get it from known gene

Transcription is the step of DNA based gene expression, in which a particular segment of DNA is copied into RNA by the enzyme RNA polymerase. Both DNA and RNA are nucleic acids, which use base pairs of nucleotidesas a complementary language. During transcription, a DNA sequence is read by an RNA polymerase, which produces a complementary, antiparallel RNA strand called a primary transcription.
