Which of the following features of genetic code does allow bacteria to produce human insulin by recombinant DNA technology?

Options

  1. AGenetic code is not ambiguous
  2. BGenetic code is redundant
  3. CGenetic code is nearly universal
  4. DGenetic code is specific

Correct answer

C. Genetic code is nearly universal

Step-by-step solution

Although the code is based on work conducted on the bacterium Escherichia coli it is valid for other organisms. This important characteristic of the genetic code is called its universality. It means that the same sequences of 3 bases encode the same amino acids in all life forms from simple microorganisms to complex, multicelled organisms such as human beings.
