The human gene for a protein hormone has been isolated. Scientists want to introduce this gene into a bacterial host, modifying the bacteria so that it can be used to produce this hormone. After successfully introducing the gene on a plasmid, the bacteria produced the protein hormone, but the protein was defective, longer than normal, with intervening stretches of amino acids not found in the native protein. What is the most likely explanation?

A. The bacteria can't transcribe the human gene. B. Bacterial ribosomes make errors when transcribing human mRNAs. C. The gene that was introduced contained introns. D. Bacterial cells cannot translate mRNAs transcribed from human genes.
