Answer;

-Pieces of genes can be inserted into the genetic material of prokaryotes so that they will make the protein products encoded in the genes or copies of the genes themselves. This has been used to genetically engineer bacteria to produce medicines, such as insulin.

Explanation;

-Transformation is the process in which a prokaryotic cell can take up and incorporate foreign DNA from the surrounding environment.

-Prokaryotes are commonly used as host cells for making copies of DNA in the lab because they are easy to grow in large numbers. Their cellular machinery naturally carries out DNA replication and protein synthesis.

-Prokaryotic or bacterial transformation is used to genetically engineer bacteria to produce medicines.

The primitive atmosphere of earth may have favored the abiotic synthesis of organic molecules because it:

kozerog [31]

The synthesis of the organic molecules in the primitive atmosphere would have favored because it was reducing and exhibited sources of energy in the form of UV radiation and lightning.

The biggest constituent of the primitive atmosphere was carbon dioxide, succeeded by hydrogen and nitrogen with almost nil oxygen. This atmosphere resulted mainly from the gases discharged due to cooling of the molten plant and at the time of volcanic eruptions.
