Explanation:
Often the desirable characteristic is simply the ability to produce large quantities of a useful protein. Bacterial cells can be genetically modified so that they have the gene for producing human insulin.A small piece of circular DNA called a plasmid? is extracted from the bacteria or yeast cell. A small section is then cut out of the circular plasmid by restriction enzymes, 'molecular scissors'. The gene for human insulin is inserted into the gap in the plasmid. This plasmid is now genetically modified.
