One of the first breakthroughs in biotechnology was the discovery of the gene that makes insulin. What was the fist step of this process?
The first step in the process of discovering the gene that makes insulin involved isolating the insulin-producing cells from the pancreas of animals, such as pigs or cows. Researchers then focused on understanding the structure of insulin and how it was synthesized in these cells. This foundational work led to the identification of the insulin gene, which could then be cloned and studied further, ultimately paving the way for the production of synthetic insulin through recombinant DNA technology.
Which two insulin molecules are most alike?
The two insulin molecules that are most alike are human insulin and porcine (pig) insulin. Both share a similar amino acid structure, with porcine insulin differing from human insulin by just one amino acid in the beta chain. This similarity makes porcine insulin a close alternative for human use, especially before recombinant DNA technology made synthetic human insulin readily available. Overall, their structural resemblance contributes to their comparable biological activity in regulating blood glucose levels.
Which best describes a scientist found the human gene that makes insulin?
They worked backwards from mRNA to DNA.
What is the organ located near the stomach that makes insulin in a frog?
In frogs, the organ near the stomach that produces insulin is called the pancreas. It is responsible for regulating blood sugar levels by releasing insulin in response to glucose in the bloodstream.
Which best describes how scientists the human gene that makes insulin?
They figured out the DNA sequence from the amino acid sequence
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.
What organ located near the stomach that makes insulin?
Hi!! The beta cells of Pancreas makes Insulin.
Why do all of us do not take insulin periodically to avoid diabetes?
Those of us who don't have diabetes probably don't need insulin because our body makes it for us.
Why do you have to use insulin when you have diabetes?
Everyone has insulin and the pancreas makes it. When your body doesn't make insulin that is diabetes. Insulin is the liquid the pancreas makes so that you can break down nutritious food into energy. So with diabetes you have to get the insulin with a shot in the arm, leg, butt, or stomach.
What is the function of a pig's pancreas?
it makes insulin
Does the pancreas make mucus?
No, the pancreas makes insulin.
Can you explain insulin in easy terms?
insulin burns sugar in food that people eats... the inability of the body to make insulin makes him diabetic... diabetes makes the blood vessels clogged... if you don't have enough blood flow then you'll die.
Which best describes how scientists found the hunan gene that makes insulin?
Scientists found the human gene that makes insulin by using recombinant DNA technology to clone and sequence the gene. They identified the gene by comparing it to the insulin genes of other species and then inserting the human gene into bacteria to produce insulin for medical use.
What is ibsulin?
If you meant Insulin and spelt it wrong, I can answer you. Insulin, is something that your body makes to keep your blood sugar level normal. If you produce too much or too little, you can get diabetes. Depending what type of diabetes it it, the person may need to take insulin injections because the body cannot make enough.
How does diabetes affect the bodys ability to make insulin?
Because when diabetes inters the body, it makes the beta cells that produce the insulin look like the intruders. So the body's immune system attacks and kills all of the beta cells.
What is is bumpy structure under stomach that makes insulin?
The bumpy structure under the stomach that makes insulin is the pancreas. The pancreas is an organ that plays a key role in regulating blood sugar levels by producing insulin, which helps to control glucose levels in the body.
What does the pancreas make which helps your body complete digestion.?
It makes insulin.
