Question

Genetically engineered bacteria have been
successfully used in the commercial production of
(a) human insulin (b) testosterone
(c) thyroxine (d) melatonin

Answer 1

Genetically engineered bacteria have been successfully used in the commercial production of:

(a) human insulin

• Genetic engineering was used by researchers in the 1980s to manufacture human insulin.

• In the lab inside common bacteria, human insulin was grown.

• The most widely used bacterium for this purpose was Escherichia coli.

• Researchers manipulated the biological precursor to insulin to facilitate the growth inside simple bacteria.

Answer 2

Genetically engineered bacteria have been  successfully used in the commercial production of human insulin.

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

• Human insulin are produced from genetically engineering bacteria.
• This insulin is responsible for maintaining the blood sugar level in human body.
• Several chemical compounds beneficial to human health have been prepared by Genetic engineering technique.
• This helps in improving the health quality of human.
• When insulin level deceases, which is created by the pancreas then the level of sugar in blood gets high, causing very serious health problems.
• In such scenario, insulin is injected from outside to maintain the blood sugar level.

Thus Genetically engineered bacteria have been  successfully used in the commercial production of human insulin.
