Question

What cellular processes must occur after transfection for this gene to be expressed in these cells? where in the cell would you expect this enzyme to be found?

Answer 1

In order for a transfected gene to be expressed in the cell it firstly needs to be transcribed into a messenger RNA molecule, and after that, it needs to be translated into a protein.If the enzyme that is expressed is Beta-galactosidase then you should expect to find it in the lysosomes.
