Question

5 multiple choice 1 point analyze the diagram below and explain how this form of biotechnology can be used in medicine. plasmid vector + dna fragment with human gene → recombinant plasmid recombinant plasmid transformed bacterial cell bacterial dna bacterial cell produces human protein this laboratory technique is used in dna fingerprinting since dna replication in bacteria and humans is the same. this is a type of gene therapy using bacterial cells to treat diseases since bacterial cells and human cells contain the same kind of chromosomes this is a type of gene therapy using bacterial cells to treat diseases since they contain the same organelles as human cells. this is a form of genetic modification utilizing bacteria to produce human proteins since the basic components of dna are the same in humans and bacteria.

Explanation:

The diagram shows the process of creating a recombinant plasmid by combining a plasmid vector with a DNA fragment containing a human gene, which is then introduced into a bacterial cell to produce a human protein. This is a form of genetic modification where bacteria are used to produce human - derived proteins because the basic components of DNA are the same in humans and bacteria. It is not DNA fingerprinting as described in the first option. Bacterial cells and human cells do not have the same kind of chromosomes or organelles, so the options related to gene - therapy based on those similarities are incorrect.

Answer:

This is a form of genetic modification utilizing bacteria to produce human proteins since the basic components of DNA are the same in humans and bacteria.
