What enables bacteria to produce human growth hormone?
|
|
DNA replication is semi-conservative.
|
|
|
The polymerase chain reaction can be used.
|
|
|
They need the hormone for growth.
|
|
|
The genetic code is universal.
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In the recombinant DNA technology the bacteria is able to produce human insulin because the genetic code is nearly universal since it all contains the same nitrogen bases, that is the A, G, C, and T. Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: “Genetic code is nearly universal” is the features of genetic code that allows bacteria to produce human insulin by recombinant DNA technology.
Detailed explanation-3: -Because of the universality of the genetic code, the polymerases of one organism can accurately transcribe a gene from another organism. For example, different species of bacteria obtain antibiotic resistance genes by exchanging small chromosomes called plasmids.
