Bacteria were some of the first organisms to be genetically modified because they have a relatively small genome and reproduce quickly. All of the following are reasons to
study and
modify a bacterial cell's genome for beneficial uses except
to use bacteria cells as a vector to add genes that code for useful products,
O to determine the genes that code for proteins such as those used to produce insulin in large
amounts.
O to modify bacteria into an infectious form that has the ability to mutate quickly
O to determine genes that code for toxins against other bacterial cells to make antibiotics from
these toxins.
