For example a bacteria that has had the human gene for insulin production inserted is still most definitely prokaryotic and not an animal. We classify organisms by their charicteristics not their genetic make up, and as the organism will still show every charicteristic, both anatomical and physiological of a bacteria, that is how we class it.
