Answer:
D. Replication in a bioreactor
Step-by-step explanation:
Genetic engineering is defined as the process of gene manipulation in which a gene is altered by the introduction of new genes across species boundaries to produce an improved version of organisms.
The function of genetic engineering is to produce high quality and quantity of new organism.
Replication in a bioreactor has a similar function as genetic engineering but has a different mechanism.
Replication is a process in which DNA copy itself to form a new organism.
Replication in a bioreactor function to convert copies of DNA into high-quality product under optimal condition.
Hence, the correct option is "D. Replication in a bioreactor".
