Genetic engineers would like to insert the gene for producing thrombin, a protein which facilitates also blood clotting and also helps patients to survive from haemophilia. They inserted the gene to simple organisms such as Lactobacillus family of bacteria as their vector to manipulate easily the production of target protein. Mr. Molina is one of the genetic engineers which has been in favor that bacteria are good vectors because ______________. a. Prokaryotic organisms are ubiquitous and can also multiply so fast for anytime at any condition. b.Bacteria are capable of self-replication and can produce multiple copies of gene. c. acteria as well as all viruses use reverse transcriptase to facilitate successfully the production of thrombin. d. Bacteria are good choice as vectors since they have multiple origins of replication.
