Question 7
Bacteria were some of the first organisms to be genetically modified because they have a relatively small genome and reproduce quickly. All of the following are reasons to study and modify a bacterial cell's genome for beneficial uses except
a
to determine the genes that code for proteins such as those used to produce insulin in large amounts.
b
to modify bacteria into an infectious form that has the ability to mutate quickly.
c
to use bacteria cells as a vector to add genes that code for useful products.
d
to determine genes that code for toxins against other bacterial cells to make antibiotics from these toxins.
b
to modify bacteria into an infectious form that has the ability to mutate quickly.
