Craig Venter’s group chose to create a synthetic life-form using a bacterium as their test subject. They inserted synthetic DNA from the bacterium Mycoplasma mycoides into a Mycoplasma capricolum cell whose own DNA had been removed. The new cell accepted the synthetic DNA and was able to replicate, representing the first synthetic life-form. If they were to try the same experiment in an animal cell, what organelle would they need to replace?
Golgi apparatus
cytoskeleton
ribosome
nucleus
