Question

Scientists involved in biotechnology sometimes insert the DNA of one organism into a second organism. Which phrase best explains why they do this?.
to cause the second organism to produce proteins
to stop the organism's gene expression
to make new cell membranes
to create new species of organisms

Answer 1

to cause the second organism to produce proteins

Explanation: inserting a gene from one organism into another (genetic engineering) is typically done so the host will express that gene and make the encoded protein (e.g., bacteria producing insulin).
