Answer 1

These are the genes that incorporated in golden rice Daffodil phytoene synthase gene, Bacterial carotene desaturase gene,Daffodil lycopene beta-cyclase. Bacteria do not post-transnationally modify proteins in the same way as a eukaryotic cell. Eukaryotic promoters are not recognized in bacteria.

Eukaryotic genes contain introns that bacteria cannot excise.
