Why are genetically engineered mammalian cells sometimes needed to produce certain proteins instead of genetically engineered bacteria?
A. Mammal cells are larger and can produce greater volumes of protein.
B. Mammalian cells are not needed; bacterial cells can produce the same proteins as long as they have the gene that codes for it.
C. Mammal cells have more precise restriction enzymes.
D. Bacteria make proteins differently than mammals, and cannot make certain human proteins.

Respuesta :

Answer:

C

Explanation:

As mammal cells have more precise restriction enzymes, it sometimes needed instead of bacteria. The correct option is C.

What is genetic engineering?

Genetic engineering also referred to as genetic modification is a process that uses laboratory-based technologies to alter an organism's DNA makeup.

Because mammalian cells have more precise restriction enzymes, it is sometimes necessary to use them instead of bacteria.

Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen, biochemists, create genetic engineering in 1973 by implanting DNA from one bacteria into yet another.

There are three basic stepping stones to genetic engineering. These are:

  1. Isolating DNA fragments from a donor organism.
  2. Inserting an isolated donor DNA fragment into a vector genome.
  3. Growing a recombinant vector in an appropriate host.

Thus, the correct option is C.
