Vedclass · Answer

(D) Genetic code is defined as the sequence of nucleotides in a polynucleotide chain that determines the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain.Because the genetic code is universal,a specific codon codes for the same amino acid in all living organisms,ranging from bacteria to humans.Therefore,when a human gene is inserted into a bacterial cell,the bacteria can read the genetic instructions and synthesize the corresponding human protein.

Column $I$ (Codons)	Column $II$ (Amino acids)
$(A)$ $UUU$	$(I)$ Serine
$(B)$ $GGG$	$(II)$ Methionine
$(C)$ $UCU$	$(III)$ Phenylalanine
$(D)$ $CCC$	$(IV)$ Glycine
$(E)$ $AUG$	$(V)$ Proline

Production of human protein in bacteria by genetic engineering is possible because
