Question

The transformation step in creating bacteria genetically engineered to produce human proteins involves:
a) cleaving the donor and vector DNA so they can be bound into a single molecule.
b) bacteria expressing the novel proteins encoded by the donor DNA.
c) binding of the donor DNA to the vector DNA and ligating the two pieces.
d) bacteria taking up the recombinant DNA in the form of the vectors.
e) None of the other answer options is correct.

Answer 1
