Biologists Have Discovered Through Research on Bacteria That They Can

Multiple Choice

Biologists have discovered through research on bacteria that they can use enzymes from these organisms to make specific changes of their choosing in the DNA of living bacterial cells.Are these discoveries relevant to people in their everyday lives? Why or why not?

A) No, because changes made to the DNA of bacteria are unrelated to anything that would affect the average person.
B) No, because work carried out in a laboratory setting would not be applicable to events that occur in the natural world.
C) No, because human cells are eukaryotic and bacterial cells are prokaryotic, so cellular processes in the two cells differ in too many ways.
D) Yes, because all organisms on Earth use the same genetic code, so techniques developed using bacterial DNA are applicable to human DNA.
E) Yes, because all cells use the same enzymes to carry out metabolic reactions, so human cells will have the same enzymes discovered in bacterial cells.
