Okay, so this question asks, bacteria are able to successfully transcribe and translate human genes because.
00:08
So this question is basically asking how organisms like bacteria can take in human dna, read it, so transcribe and translate it, and then generate proteins from it, even though this is this is foreign dna, and they may not necessarily use these proteins.
00:25
How is it that they can basically have the ability to read foreign genetic material and basically transcribe and translate it? so let's go down the list of options that can possibly explain for this phenomenon.
00:41
So a says both bacteria and humans contain plasmid vectors.
00:45
So plasmids are circular independently replicating pieces of dna that are found only in bacteria.
00:51
They're not found in humans, so we could eliminate a.
00:54
B says bacteria can replicate their dna, but humans cannot.
00:59
So we know that this isn't true.
01:02
When a human cell divides into two, it has to replicate the dna so that the same amount of genetic material ends up in each of the daughter's cells.
01:10
So b is false.
01:12
Their statement says human and bacterial ribosomes are vastly different...
