Brief Explanations
This is a core technique in genetic engineering (recombinant DNA technology). Scientists can isolate a human gene, insert it into a bacterial plasmid (a small circular DNA molecule), and introduce this modified plasmid into a bacterium. The bacterium will then take up and replicate the human gene, and can even express it to produce human proteins (e.g., insulin made by engineered E. coli).
