In order for a eukaryotic gene to be engineered into a bacterial colony to be expressed, what must be included in addition to the coding exons of the gene?
A) the introns
B) eukaryotic polymerases
C) a bacterial promoter sequence
D) eukaryotic ribosomal subunits
E) eukaryotic tRNAs

Question

Bacteria use different promoters than eukaryotes to initiate transcription, so a bacterial promoter sequence must be included in order for the bacterial colony to express the eukaryotic gene. The introns, polymerases, ribosomal subunits, and tRNAs are not necessary for this process.
