Question:

Which of the following features of genetic code does allow bacteria to produce human insulin by recombinant DNA technology?

Genetic code is redundant

Genetic code is specific

Genetic code is not ambiguous

Genetic code is nearly universal

Solution:

Correct option is C. Genetic code is nearly universal. In recombinant DNA technology, bacteria are able to produce human insulin because the genetic code is nearly universal; that is, all organisms use the same nitrogenous bases (A, G, C, and T). So, the correct answer is 'Genetic code is nearly universal'.
