What is an organism containing a new gene?
Transgenic - Refers to an organism containing one or more deliberately inserted genes from another species. Examples are bacteria containing the gene for human insulin and plants that contain the gene for a naturally occurring insecticide.
Why do transgenic bacteria that have the gene for human insulin produce insulin in great abundance?
It is the easiest way for this protein to be produced. The DNA encoding human insulin can be put under the control of a constituitively active promoter and transfected into bacteria, which then produce the protein with their cellular machinery.
What are some current recombinant technologies?
Production of human insulin from bacterial cells.
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.
Is the manipulation of the DNA of cells to change hereditary traits or produce biological products?
Since biological products, such as human insulin or human growth hormone, are hereditary traits, the manipulation of DNA is performed in order to change hereditary traits, which results in a change in the production of biological products. For example, bacteria do not ordinarily produce human insulin or human growth hormone as hereditary traits. However, manipulating their genome so that they carry human insulin genes or human growth hormone genes is done to change their hereditary traits, such as changes in their production of biological products, so that the bacteria now produce human insulin and human growth hormone.
What is an example of a transgenic organisms?
A transgenic organisms has one or more genes from another organism inserted into its genome.Transgenic bacteria with the gene for human insulin make human insulin that is used to treat people with Diabetes.

Why do transgenic bacteria that have the gene for human insulin produce insulin produce in great abundance?
bacteria reproduce quickly. The more transgenic bacteria there are, the more insulin is produced. (I am taking an online Biology course and this question was asked, and this was the answer the online class gave me)

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
How can genetic engineering improve human health?
by inserting a gene from another organism (transgenic organisms).

E. coli that contains the genes for human insulin is?
E. coli that contains the gene for human insulin is genetically engineered, transgenic, and a GMO. Bacteria have been engineered to produce chymotrypsin, make human insulin, produce enzymes that increase shelf life of bread, and to produce enzymes that improve the taste and clarity of beer.
What are some current recombinant technologies?
Production of human insulin from bacterial cells.
What is exogenous insulin?
In patients with diabetes, whose endogenous production of insulin is completely or near to nothing, insulin is administered to them subcutaneously. The insulin is usually bovine insulin or pork insulin. Recently, human insulins have been manufactured by rDNA technology. These preparations are called exogenous insulins.
