Question

explain the genetically engineered insulin?plz give ANSWER fastly and easy..........

Answer 1

The gene for human insulin is inserted into the gap in the plasmid. This plasmid is now genetically modified. The genetically modified plasmid is introduced into a new bacteria or yeast cell. This cell then divides rapidly and starts making insulin.

Answer 2

Genetic engineering, sometimes called genetic modification, is the process of altering the DNA? in an organism’s genome?.This may mean changing one base pair? (A-T or C-G), deleting a whole region of DNA, or introducing an additional copy of a gene?.It may also mean extracting DNA from another organism’s genome and combining it with the DNA of that individual.Genetic engineering is used by scientists to enhance or modify the characteristics of an individual organism.Genetic engineering can be applied to any organism, from a virus? to a sheep. For example, genetic engineering can be used to produce plants that have a higher nutritional value or can tolerate exposure to herbicides.

How does genetic engineering work?

To help explain the process of genetic engineering we have taken the example of insulin, a protein? that helps regulate the sugar levels in our blood.

Normally insulin? is produced in the pancreas?, but in people with type 1 diabetes? there is a problem with insulin production.People with diabetes therefore have to inject insulin to control their blood sugar levels. Genetic engineering has been used to produce a type of insulin, very similar to our own, from yeast andbacteria? like E. coli?. This genetically modified insulin, ‘Humulin’ was licensed for human use in 1982.
