Scientists have found a gene in the DNA of a certain plant that could be

the key to increasing the amount of lycopene, a cancer-fighting substance,

in tomatoes. To insert this gene into bacteria, scientists would need to use:

A) radiation to increase the gene mutation rate of the bacterial cells

B) hereditary information located in amino acids

C) enzymes to cut out and insert the gene

D) cancer cells to promote rapid cell division
