question 18
a human gene put into a plant cell will
produce the same protein produced in a human cell.
not produce a protein.
produce a hybrid protein consisting of both human and plant components.
produce a plant protein.
The genetic code is universal. This means that the same sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA will code for the same amino acids during translation, regardless of whether the cell is human or plant. So, when a human gene (a segment of DNA that codes for a specific protein) is inserted into a plant cell, the plant cell's machinery (ribosomes, tRNA etc.) will read the genetic code of the human gene in the same way as a human cell does. As a result, it will produce the same protein as would be produced in a human cell.
