A bacterial cell was transformed with a recombinant DNA molecule that was generated using a human gene. However, the transformed cells did not produce the desired protein. Reasons could be:
•Introns are the long sequences of RNA found in eukaryotic organisms.
•These sequences do not code for any proteins.
•As bacteria lacks RNA splicing machinery, the gene expression is blocked in prokaryotes.
