How can a fusion protein be formed?

A. by removing a portion of the gene, forming a shorter gene and therefore a shorter protein B. by site-directed mutagenesis, where a fragment is replaced with a synthetic sequence containing the altered DNA sequence C. by ligating together the sequences of two different genes, creating a new hybrid gene. When expressed, the new gene product is a fusion of the two gene products. D. by the recombination of two proteins in a bacterial cell to form a new hybrid protein E. by using oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis to introduce mutations that cause the expressed protein to fuse to other proteins
