Question
which substance will a bacterium produce when a human gene is added to its genome?○ a protein made up of both human and bacterial properties○ human carbohydrates○ the human protein coded for by the human gene○ human plasmids that can be isolated from the bacterium
Genes contain the code for specific proteins. When a human gene is inserted into a bacterium's genome, the bacterium's cellular machinery reads the human gene's code and synthesizes the exact protein that the human gene encodes, as the genetic code is universal across most organisms.
