The correct response is:
**Bacteria reproduce very quickly, so they are easy to cultivate.**
Bacteria are often used in recombinant DNA technology because they can grow and divide rapidly, making them easy to manipulate and cultivate in laboratory settings. This rapid reproduction allows for the quick generation of large quantities of the recombinant DNA product. Additionally, bacteria typically have simpler genomes, which facilitates the insertion and expression of recombinant DNA.
