Which of the following is not a function of transgenic bacteria?
Correct answer: C. Role in genomic library
- A. Synthesis of pharmaceutical products
- B. Promoting health in plants
- C. Role in genomic library
- D. Used as biofilter
Explanation
Transgenic bacteria have been produced to promote the health of plants. The industry has found that bacteria can be used as biofilters to prevent airborne chemical pollutants from being vented into the air. Biotechnology products produced by bacteria, such as insulin, human growth hormone, tissue plasminogen activator, hemophilia factor Vm, and hepatitis B vaccine are now in the market.
