Genes for medically important proteins can be cloned and inserted into bacteria, as shown in the diagram below. Why can bacteria recognize a human gene and then produce a human protein?
A
DNA replication in bacteria and humans is the same
B
Bacterial cells contain the same organelles as human cells
C
The basic components of DNA are the same in humans and bacteria
D
Bacterial cells contain the same organelles as chromosomes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Genes for medically important proteins can be cloned and inserted into bacteria, as shown in the diagram below. Why can bacteria recognize a human gene and then produce a human protein? DNA replication in bacteria and humans is the same. Bacterial cells contain the same organelles as human cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -By the early 1900’s, biochemists had isolated hundreds of different chemicals from living cells. Which of these was the genetic material? Proteins seemed like promising candidates, since they were abundant, diverse, and complex molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -Through the processes of transcription and translation, information from genes is used to make proteins.
