The following steps must be performed to make a bacterium produce human protein X: 1-Translation; 2-Restriction enzyme; 3-Prokaryotic transcription; 4-DNA ligase; 5-Transformation; 6-Eukaryotic transcription; 7-Reverse transcription. Put the steps in the correct sequence.

A) 5, 2, 3, 4, 7, 6, 1

B) 1, 2, 3, 5, 4, 7, 6

C) 6, 7, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1

D) 6, 7, 2, 4, 5, 3, 1

E) 6, 2, 1, 3, 4, 5, 7

The following steps must be performed to make a bacterium produce human protein X: D) 6, 7, 2, 4, 5, 3, 1

Explanation:

To make a bacterium produce a human protein, it can be genetically modified in order to produce something useful, such as human inslun or human growth hormone. This is the right process in order to have a succesful result:

1 - Eukaryotic transcription;

2 - Reverse transcription.

3 - Restriction enzyme;

4-DNA ligase;

5-Transformation;

6-Prokaryotic transcription;

7-Translation;
