Which best describes a scientist found the human gene that makes insulin?
They worked backwards from mRNA to DNA.
Which best describes how scientists the human gene that makes insulin?
They figured out the DNA sequence from the amino acid sequence
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.
How does a human insulin genes become part of a plasmid?
1. Scientists remove plasmids, small rings of DNA, from bacterial cells. 2. An enzyme cuts open the plasmid DNA. The same enzyme removes the human insulin gene from its chromosome. 3. The human insulin gene attaches the open ends of the plasmid to form a closed ring. 4. Some bacterial cells take up the plasmids that have the insulin gene. 5. When cells reproduce, the news cells will contain copies of the engineered plasmid. The foreign gene directs the cell to produce human insulin.
Which statement best describes human insulin that is produced by by genetically engineered bacteria?
Genetically engineered insulin may have fewer side effects than the insulin previously extracted from the pancreases of other animals. This is because genetic engineering inserts human genes such as the gene for insulin production into the DNA of bacteria. As a result, the bacteria that produces human insulin, when used by diabetics, should produce fewer side effects.

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.

E coli makes insulin because?
the insulin gene was inserted into it. E. coli doesn't naturally produce insulin. It needs to be engineered to do so.

When pharmaceutical companies use recombinant bacteria to make insulin what do they insert the insulin gene into?
The human insulin gene, which is located on the top of the short arm of chromosome 11 in human DNA, is cut from the DNA strand using restriction enzymes (genetics scissors). A plasmid (floating circular disks of DNA in bacteria) is extracted from a bacteria and cut open with another restriction enzyme, and the gene for human insulin is taken up by the plasmid. Another enzyme, ligase, is used to permanently seal the exposed nucleotides (ends of the DNA strands) together (like genetic glue). the plasmid is then put back into the bacterial cell, and the bacteria will then manufacture insulin. its offspring will also have the genetic data for human insulin.
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.
Concerns with gentically engineered insulin?
Apart from idealogical concerns there shouldn't be any. Genetically engineered insulin is much, much safer than extracting insulin from pig's panreas as they did before they isolated the human insulin gene.
