Production of a human protein in bacteria by
genetic engineering is possible because
- AThe human chromosome can replicate in bacterial cell
- BThe genetic code is universal
- CBacterial cell can carry out the RNA splicing reactions
- DThe mechanism of gene regulation is identical in humans and bacteria
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
Genetic code may be defined as the sequence of nucleotides in polynucleotide chain which determines the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain. Thus the genetic code is universal. These is no ambiguity regarding genetic code. It means that each codon codes for the same amino acid in all organisms including bacteria, plants and animals.
