Assertion : In recombinant DNA technology, human genes are often transferred into bacteria (prokaryotes) or yeasts (eukaryotes). Reason : Both bacteria and yeasts multiply very fast to form huge populations which express the desired gene.

TestHub · Accepted Answer

In recombinant DNA technology, widely used hosts for replication and amplification of recombinant DNA are prokaryotic E. coli and the eukaryotic yeast. They replicate very fast to form huge populations which express the desired gene. Yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) are important cloning tools for the analysis of complex genome such as that of humans. They allow the maintenance, propagation and analysis of such genome in an experimentally tractable system, the yeast.
