Artificial genes can be introduced into bacterial cells where they can be expressed. However, it is very unlikely that a eukaryotic gene copied in its entirety into a bacterial chromosome will be expressed in a bacterial cell. Which of the following is a possible reason why a eukaryotic gene would not be expressed properly in a bacteria cell?
