Question

A team of scientists altered the DNA of E. coli bacteria. The bacteria thus developed had the ability to generate insulin exactly identical to the human insulin molecule. What could be the likely impact of this biotechnology on the individual and the society?
The medical costs for insulin-dependent patients would rise.
Large-scale insulin could be produced in relatively lesser time.
The price of insulin available from sources other than bacteria may fall.
The patients who take insulin may become infected with E. coli bacteria.

Answer 1

Hey,

The answer is large-scale insulin could be produced in relatively lesser time. Insulin was earlier extracted from cattle pancreas.

  Biotechnology enabled the production of insulin on large scale in large bioreactors and they are pure and has no allergic effects unlike insulin from other animals...
