Bacterial transformation with recombinant plasmids lets researchers
A.produce proteins from inserted genes in bacteria
B.sequence human genomes directly
C.view cells under a microscope
D.clone entire mammals
Explanation
Core Concept
A plasmid carrying a foreign gene (plus an antibiotic-resistance marker for selection) enters bacteria, which then express the gene — how insulin is manufactured.
Correct Answer
Aproduce proteins from inserted genes in bacteria
