A bacterium that has received recombinant DNA containing the gene for human insulin willMultiple choice question.no longer produce human insulin but will instead produce only bacterial insulin.possess the gene but will not produce the protein product of the gene.replicate the gene along with the rest of their DNA but only produce protein product of the bacterial genes.produce human insulin along with the other proteins it normally produces.

The correct answer is: "produce human insulin along with the other proteins it normally produces."

Here's why:

When a bacterium receives recombinant DNA containing a gene for human insulin, it incorporates this gene into its own DNA. This process is known as genetic engineering or recombinant DNA technology.

During protein synthesis, the bacterium will transcribe and translate the insulin gene just like its own genes. This means it will produce human insulin along with the other proteins it normally produces.

The bacterium does not differentiate between its own genes and the inserted human gene. As long as the necessary machinery for gene expression is present, it will produce the protein product of the gene. In this case, that product is human insulin.

So, the bacterium will continue to produce its own proteins as well as the new protein (human insulin) coded by the inserted gene.
