In the field of recombinant DNA technology, it is common to introduce human genes into bacterial or yeast cells (A). Bacteria and yeast multiply rapidly, forming large populations that can express and produce the desired gene product (R). The ability of bacteria and yeast to quickly amplify the introduced genes contributes to their usefulness as host organisms in recombinant DNA technology. Therefore, both A and R are true, and R provides the correct explanation for A. Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
