biotechnology

Answer 1

To insert a new gene into a bacterium and for the bacterium to show the new trait, the following options apply:

- **proteins** (for expression of the new trait)
- **cellular processes** (to facilitate the integration and expression of the new gene)
- **biotechnology** (as it encompasses the methods used for gene insertion)

A **breeding program** is typically associated with the propagation of traits in organisms through natural selection and is not directly applicable to the insertion of genes in bacteria.
