Chapter 11.12, Problem 2MQ
Summary Introduction
Bacteria are prokaryotic microorganisms. They live in various environments such as soil, ocean, and inside the human body. Some bacteria are harmless and others may produce diseases to humans. Bacteria are used in genetic engineering to produce human hormones, drugs, chemicals, and fuels. Genetic engineering techniques are involved in DNA manipulation, cloning, and expression.
