Question

If genes from an organism, such as a bacterium, are inserted into a cell of another organism, such as corn, why does the gene still function?

A) The organism receiving the gene will modify it so it can work.

B) The gene carries the necessary enzymes to allow it to be read in corn.

C) The genetic code is read in the same way by all organisms.

D) The bacterium is similar enough to the corn that the gene is able to function.

Answer 1

The Answer is A) The organism receiving the gene will modify it so it can work.

Have a great day mate!!

Answer 2

Answer: C). The genetic code read by the organism in the same way by all organisms.

Step-by-step explanation:

The gene is the smallest functional unit of the genome of the organism which is expressed in the organism and it produces a particular trait in the organism.

The genetic engineering is a field which facilitates the manipulation of the genetic makeup of the organisms.

The function of gene will remain the same even though it is transfered from one organism to other. Every gene exhibit a genetic code which helps in expression of gene in an oderly way. Thus irrespective of the organism the order of expression of gene will be maintained by genetic code.
