Question

Production of a human protein in bacteria by
genetic engineering is possible because
(a) bacterial cell can carry out the RNA splicing
reactions
(b) the human chromosome can replicate
bacterial cell
(c) the mechanism of gene regulation is
identical in humans and bacteria
(d) the genetic code is universal

Answer 1

Answer:

option A bacterial cell can carry out the RNA splicing reaction

Answer 2

Production of human protein in bacteria:

• Option “D” is correct i.e. the genetic code is universal.

• Production of human protein in bacteria through genetic engineering is possible because the genetic code is universal.

• Genetic code is universal which implies that a specific codon specify a certain amino acid in all the organisms. The mRNA codon "ACU" codes for threonine, regardless of its source. This allows bacteria to produce a human protein .
