The insulin used to treat people with diabetes is commonly produced by inserting the dna sequence for human insulin into a bacterium. the insulin the bacterium produces using that sequence is then harvested. in fact, dna sequences from virtually any living organism could be inserted into a bacterium and the bacterium would be able to use the sequences to make the same proteins that the original organism did. in what way does this provide evidence for evolution?

Earlier insulin was extracted from the pancreas if pigs snd dogs. Which caused out immune to produce antibodies against the foreign gene , abd therefore now we have evolved as using human insulin itself to produce similar dna sequence to treat people with diabetes.
U r in class 12th right?
Refer to the chapter biotechnology ch 8

Answer: Since the genetic code is the same across species, these species must have inherited it from a common ancestor.

The production of human insulin is a multi-step biochemical process that depends upon the recombinant DNA technology and insulin gene. In the production of human insulin the insulin gene is inserted into bacteria and then it is grown on suitable media and bacteria grow on that media and produces insulin that is harvested and packed in a vial and sends to the market for the patient. The genetic code is universal, it means that the same codon code for same amino acid in all organism.
