Students are studying a protein found in frogs that overwinter in Alaska. Frogs are eukaryotes. The frogs actually freeze during the winter, then revive once temperatures warm up. They are planning to synthesize the protein in large quantities using bacteria to make it. The researcher hires a student to work with them on this project. The student suggests cutting the entire gene out of the frog’s chromosome so it can be added to the bacteria’s genetic information. If they do this, will the bacteria produce the same protein that the frog produces?
