Genes that code for a specific protein can be inserted into bacterial plasmids, and then the plasmids are used to transform cells. many useful human proteins are now synthesize by these transgenic bacteria. Uses for the synthesized proteins include human insulin used to treat diabetes and human growth hormone used to treat dwarfism. Which tenet of cell theory best serves as a basis for this type of biotechnology

In sweet pea, gene c is responsible for color production and gene p is responsible for the purple color pigment. both of them are located on two different loci on different chromosomes. the flowers will be purple only when the plant has the genotypes as c_p_. no color will be produced with genotypes: ccpp, ccpp, ccpp, ccpp. thus, gene c controls the expression of gene p. what pattern of inheritance is exhibited here? a. pleiotropy b. epistasis c. multiple alleles
