Biography

After earning my BS in Chemistry, I worked as a chemist for some time before returning to school to complete my Doctor of Pharmacy degree. During the time I was in school, I worked as a tutor, and have continued as an educator for graduate students in pharmacy. Both career paths have required extensive study in math and sciences. Teaching has been one of the most rewarding aspect of my career path, and I strive to bring both positivity and clarity in my teaching style.

Knowing that the genetic code is almost universal, a scientist uses molecular biological methods to insert the human \beta-globin gene (shown in Figure 17.11 ) into bacterial cells, hop ing the cells will express it and synthesize functional $\beta$ -globin protein. Instead, the protein produced is nonfunctional and is found to contain many fewer amino acids than does $\beta$ -globin made by a eukaryotic cell. Explain why.
