Question

genetic engineering quiz 25 - 26 biology a / module 2: principles of inheritance 1. bacterium is a prime candidate for genetic engineering because of its ____ and ____. ability to process foreign dna; stop protein production ability to resist the foreign dna; make proteins faster ability to destroy foreign dna; delay protein production ability to take up foreign dna; express proteins faster

Explanation:

Bacteria are good for genetic engineering as they can take in foreign DNA through processes like transformation. Also, they have a rapid growth - rate and can express proteins quickly due to their simple cellular machinery and short generation times.

Answer:

ability to take up foreign DNA; express proteins faster
