Bacteria and Humans Use the Same DNA Components,and Both Kinds

question 1

Multiple Choice

Bacteria and humans use the same DNA components,and both kinds of cells also perform transcription and translation.Which of the following choices is a potentially significant outcome of this shared mechanism?

• A) Bacteria are able to transcribe and translate human DNA; thus, they potentially could produce human proteins.
• B) Bacteria are able to transcribe and translate human DNA; thus, they could evolve into humans.
• C) Bacterial and human proteins are identical in amino acid sequence because the mechanism for producing them is the same.
• D) Bacterial and human DNA are identical in sequence because the method for producing them is the same.
