Ascientist isolates a gene from a human cell that codes for a specific protein. the gene is inserted into a bacterial plasmid in order to mass produce the protein for medical purposes. the next step in mass production of the protein would be of the bacterium containing the modified plasmid.

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "Synthesized." A scientist isolates a gene from a human cell that codes for a specific protein. The gene is inserted into a bacterial plasmid in order to mass produce the protein for medical purposes. The next step in mass production of the protein would be synthesized of the bacterium containing the modified plasmid.
