A bacterial cell was transformed with a recombinant DNA that was generated using a human gene. However, the transformed cells did not produce the desired protein. Reason could be

A

human gene may have intron which bacteria cannot process

B

amino acid codons for humans and bacteria are different

C

human protien is formed but degraded by bacteria

D

All of the above.
