Some human proteins that are used in therapeutics, such as insulin, can be produced by genetically modified yeast. Though genetically modified bacteria can also be used to produce these therapeutics, yeast is considered by many to be the superior type of organism to use for this purpose. What is the advantage of using yeast cells instead of bacterial cells when expressing human proteins?
a. Yeast cells grow faster than bacterial cells when expressing human proteins.
b. Yeast cells splice mRNA in an identical manner as human cells.
c. Yeast cells fold and modify proteins in a manner similar to human cells.
d. Yeast cells use the same genetic code for specifying amino acids as human cells.
