Genes for medically important proteins can be cloned and inserted into bacteria, as shown in the diagram above. Why can bacteria recognize a human gene and then produce a human protein?

Bacterial cells and human cells contain the same kind of chromosomes.

RNA replication in bacteria and humans is the same.

The basic components of DNA are the same in humans and bacteria.

Bacterial cells contain the same organelles as human cells.

Transgenic animals can be easily tested for the new gene.

Transgenic animals can produce the desired drug at high levels without endangering its own health.

Transgenic animals cannot pass their ability to produce the desired drug to its offspring.

Transgene DNA may insert itself into the genome in a way that disrupts the animal’s normal gene function.
