What is one benefit and one risk involved in the use of transgenic organisms?
the benifits of involve transgenic organisms that we are found a new crops or new varities of plants...who has benifitted for production of seed.....and the own risk at that may cause a new deseases...
What kind of organism is used to produce human insullen?
The organism commonly used to produce human insulin is bacteria, specifically Escherichia coli (E. coli) or the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. These organisms are genetically engineered to produce and secrete human insulin, which is then harvested and purified for use in treating diabetes.
How is bacteria used to make insulin?
Human plasmids introduced into the bacteria stimulate insulin production. A special enzyme is used to cut out the insulin gene from a human cell. It is attached to a bacterial chromosome which is also split open by an enzyme. The gene is then transferred into a bacterial cell. The gene makes the bacterial cell produce insulin.
What kind of cell is used to produce human insulin?
Human insulin is not manufactured. The insulin that humans use is derived from animals ie pig its not you can buy it from quicksave or netto
Assume that transgenic organisms can be develop to speed nitrogen fixation how might use of these organisms affect an ecosystem?
If these transgenic organisms hastens the process of nitrogen fixation then the nitrogen cycle in general is sped up as a result. Ultimately, fixated nitrogen aids in plant growth since it helps fertilize the soil. It helps improve the soil's organic content and volume. This leads to various effects, good and bad. For one thing, farmers can use the organisms for better quality of crops and faster production. On the other hand, an imbalance in the earth's atmosphere can also be triggered and a lot of organisms like bacteria and ultimately us humans will be affected. Some species who had no problem surviving otherwise will die out while others will thrive and find it conducive to their existence.
Can insulin be made by using transgenic bacteria?
Yes. In fact, currently insulin manufacturers worldwide use transgenic (recombinant) bacteria to produce insulin efficiently.
To produce transgenic bacteria that make insulin what step did researchers have to take first?
Use a restriction enzyme to cut the insulin gene from human DNA. 5175286717
What of the following is not a use for transgenic organisms?
*A+* production of cloned sheep
What is an application of transgenic organisms?
Genetically modified microorganisms (GMOs) have been developed through the engineering of the genome by inserting desirable genes or deleting undesirable genes. Most applications have been with crops, where genes inserted into the plants provide resistance to a herbicide or produce an insecticide. However, GMO research is expected to continue to satisfy food security concerns and adapt to climate change. Creative Biogene

What is the difference between human and analog insulin?
Human Insulin, is a replica of the insulin found naturally in human beings. These are synthetically prepared. An insulin analogue however is an altered form of this human insulin, by addition,subsitution or substraction of one/or more amino acid chain/s. This is done to make insulin more safe and effective for human use.
Why diabetic patient prefer to use sheep insulin than human insulin?
one of the reason might be its price.Human insulin is costlier then sheep insulin.
What animal gives us insulin?
Some diabetics claim that they get better control using insulin from cow or pig. The evidence is poor on support of the claim. Only one company in the world is licence to make insulin from animal extrict. Today 99% is made from 'human' DNA.
What kind of organism is used to produce human insullen?
The organism commonly used to produce human insulin is bacteria, specifically Escherichia coli (E. coli) or the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. These organisms are genetically engineered to produce and secrete human insulin, which is then harvested and purified for use in treating diabetes.
What is the boiling point of insulin?
The boiling point of human insulin is 212 degrees Fahrenheit. When synthetic insulin is used, it must be kept in the refrigerator until use.
How is biotechnology used in creating or in the upkeep of a transgenic organism?
Gene therapy is one form of biotechnology which is used in the creation and upkeep of transgenic organisms. Often used in an effort to correct genetic errors such as metabolic errors which cause diseases to be inherited between generations of organisms. Through the use of gene therapy, some of these errors can be corrected and therefore cure or lessen the effects of the genetic defects.
How is bacteria used to make insulin?
Human plasmids introduced into the bacteria stimulate insulin production. A special enzyme is used to cut out the insulin gene from a human cell. It is attached to a bacterial chromosome which is also split open by an enzyme. The gene is then transferred into a bacterial cell. The gene makes the bacterial cell produce insulin.
