A gene of interest in biotechnology is a segment of DNA that codes for an important trait that the researcher desires to be expressed. If the gene of interest (shown in yellow) is placed into a bacterial cell, what is the most likely outcome?

A) The bacterial cell will express the gene of interest to produce a protein product.

B) The bacterial cell will copy the DNA many times but will likely not transcribe the gene.

C) The bacterial cell will reject the gene of interest because it comes from a different source organism.

D) The bacterial cell will remove the introns from the gene of interest to allow it to be translated efficiently.
