Answer: The basic component of DNA is same in human beings and bacteria.

Step-by-step explanation:

The basic components of DNA are the same in humans and bacteria. A small section of the DNA from human beings is incorporated into the bacterial DNA.

The bacterial cell divides very fastly, as they have a high rate of multiplication. It takes very less time to divide and in a very less time it multiples to get higher number of product.

As the fragment of human DNA is attached to the bacterial DNA is also multiplied.
