Which technique is used to alter bacteria in such a way that they produce human insulin?

if i understand your question correctly then, you take a human cell and combine it with insulin you then inject that/those cell(s) into the persons pancreas, and the cells divide and rapidly multiply causing the pancreas to jump back into life (it's basically a form of cloning and genetic modification) BTW I'm not a geek or a nerd or out, i just sorta' listened in that science lesson.

∙ 10y agoThe insulin producing gene is "cut" out of the bacterium using enzymes. Then the gene a "put" into the bacterium using enzymes again. The bacterium is then grown and produces insulin for humans.

The important of obtain pure bacteria?
The need of pure culture of bacteria to characterize an individual species. Pure culture are also important to study the morphology and physiology of individual bacterial species, their biochemical behaviour and response to different compounds like antibiotics, which all can me alter by the influence of other species if prestent (in mixed culture) and also for isolating and studying of their molicular structure i.e. DNA or RNA. Some common ways to obtain a pure culture of bacteria are: 1 The spread plate technique. 2 The pour plate. 3 Streak plate technique.
Technique designed to directly alter an organism's DNA?
Recombinant DNA technology can be used to genetically modify something.
The technology of genetic engineering has allowed humans to alter the genetic makeup of organisms. What is one example of this alteration?
Growing a new corn plant that can tolerate drought and disease. Developing rice that contains more Vitamin A. Using a bacteria to deliver chemical agents in cancer treatment. Using bacteria to mass produce human insulin.
Explain why the ability to rapidly degrade mRNA can be an adaptive advantage for prokaryotes?
Prokaryotic mRNA molecules are degraded by enzymes after only a few minutes . Thus bacteria can quickly alter patterns of protein synthesis in response to environmental changes.
Is it possible to alter DNA?
Yes. X-rays can alter DNA, and DNA can be altered by scientists.
How might a plasmid be used to alter characteristics of an organism?
A plasmid is a circular double stranded DNA usually found in bacteria. Most of them do not have specific functions and altering them does not hamper the bacteria possesing them. A gene of interest can be annealed to this plasmid so as to make the concerned bacteria produce a particular product. Since the bacteria can now produce a new product, the plasmid has been used to alter the characteristics of the organism.
What is an advantage of using transgenic bacteria to produce human proteins?
The advantages of using transgenic bacteria to produce human proteins are:It is very easy to alter bacterial plasmid.Moreover, bacteria can be cultured very easily and in large quantities. So, there is quick and bulk production of the required product.The proteins grow cheaply and in abundance.
What is the technique used to alter one amino acid in protein?
site-direct mutagenesis
If i alter a copyrighted painting to teach a technique is that copyright infringement?
Altering a copyrighted painting to teach a technique is still copyright infringement as that falls under derivative works.
How much insulin to take to match the glycemic load of a particular food?
If you have been diagnosed recently, ask your doctor what you can do whenever you occasionally overeat. Only your doctor should tell you in what way to alter your intake of insulin, if any.
