Insulin is a hormone produced by some pancreatic cells. Scientists have isolated the DNA sequence that codes for human insulin production Which of the following best predicts the effect of inserting this gene into the DNA of a bacterial cell? А. The recombinant bacterium will produce human insulin using its own transcription and translation machinery.
B. The recombinant bacterium will not transcribe the human insulin gene because this gene is not normally found in the bacterial genome.
C. The recombinant bacterium will transcribe the gene but will be unable to translate the mRNA.
D. The recombinant bacterium will die because it has been exposed to foreign DNA

А. The recombinant bacterium will produce human insulin using its own transcription and translation machinery

Explanation:

This question is describing genetic engineering, which aims at producing desirable traits in organisms. In this case, the gene that encodes insulin protein in humans is inserted into the plasmid (extra-chromosomal DNA) of a bacterium. The plasmid is then inserted back into the bacterium to become a RECOMBINANT BACTERIUM.

The recombinant bacterium containing the insulin gene will produce human insulin (protein) using its own transcription and translation machinery. This genetic engineering procedure is used to mass produce insulin protein, which is administered as medicine to humans who cannot produce the protein.
