Why are bacterial cells often used as a host for genetic manipulation? (Choose all that apply)

because the plasmids in bacteria also contain nucleotide sequences called restriction sites that can be cut easily by enzymes

because bacteria reproduce and make proteins very quickly

because bacteria can be found in the organisms that scientists wish to clone

because when the genes of an organism were isolated and transferred into bacteria, the bacteria would manufacture the protein coded by the newly inserted DNA
