What do you mean by hereditary factor?
The factors that sale rate from eachother to create gametes
What happens when a scientists puts a normal human insulin gene in the DNA of a bacterium?
The insulin is slowly transformed into the bacterium as C6H12O6 is combined with the insulin to create this product. I know, I'm a biologist.
What system is most affected by diabetes?
Diabetes is when the immune system attacks the insulin making beta cells in the pancreas. This keeps the cells from getting energy. If cells have less to no energy, it affects the whole body
Insulin is to the pancreas as?
Insulin is the to pancreas as bile is to the liver in the way that they each produce these things. Though there are many another analogies you could create that would be equally true, if not more accurate, such as, Insulin is the the pancreas as erythropoietin is to the kidneys.

What role does E. coli play in recombinant DNA Technology?

What hormone is required for the normal use of glucose in the body?
Insulin is the hormone that allows cells to take up glucose. Insulin is synthesised and released from the beta cells in the islets of langerhans of the pancreas. Its release is stimulated by high blood glucose levels.
How can genetic technology allow us to create human insulin using bacteria?
We are able to "splice" genes from one organism into the DNA of another to give it traits we want. In this case, we put the gene for insulin into the DNA of a bacterium, which causes it to produce insulin, which we can use.
People with the hereditary disease hemophilia have what?
They have trouble forming blood clots due to the inability to create a certain protein needed to form a clot. Different types of hemophilia have different proteins that don't work. or for Plato users : lack one or more blood clotting factors
Does diabetes make you sick?
No, but it is a disease in which your body doesn't create natural insulin, so you must take shots of insulin directly in to your muscles. Without insulin, your sugar level rises too much; resulting in urinating sugar every 5-20 minutes, hospitalization, and in extreme levels even death. With too much insulin, your sugar level drops; resulting in a white blur upon closed eyes, unable to move, violently shaking, unable to swallow, and in extreme cases death. If your sugar level is too low, and you fall asleep; there is a great chance you will not wake up.
how do you get diabetes in your life?
Your body uses insulin properly convert and carry energy derived from food to the cells in your body. There are two types of diabetes. In people with type one diabetes, the body does not produce insulin and therefore need to have insulin injested via shots. In type two diabetes, your body is not using insulin properly or does not create enough insulin. Typically type two diabetes canb be controlled with medication or via controlling your diet.
What is the prosses of sugar?
Sugar is called glucose, and when it is ingested, the body causes the pancreas to create insulin. When the brain senses this increase in insulin, it sends signals that say you are less hungry. Sugar (glucose) is an important energy source for the body's cells.
