Question

bacteria that have the gene to make human insulin...
□ reproduce sexually to make identical offspring with the same genes
□ reproduce sexually to make identical offspring with different genes
□ reproduce asexually to make identical offspring with different genes
□ reproduce asexually to make identical offspring with the same genes

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Bacteria reproduce asexually (e.g., binary fission). Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent, so if the parent bacterium has the human insulin gene, the offspring will too. The other options are incorrect: bacteria don't reproduce sexually, and asexual reproduction doesn't create offspring with different genes.

Answer:

D. reproduce asexually to make identical offspring with the same genes (assuming the last option is labeled D; if options are unlabeled, it's the bottom option: "reproduce asexually to make identical offspring with the same genes")
