The advantages of using transgenic bacteria to produce human proteins are:
True. When human genes are inserted into bacteria and produce proteins, it demonstrates that genetic material from humans has been introduced into another organism, making the bacteria transgenic.
Practical applications are: bacteria: they are easy to grow animal: study genes and improve the food supply plant: They are an important part of our food supply because they produce a natural insecticide so they don't have to be sprayed.
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.

Transgenic organisms could be used to make a new type of protein. For example, give a bacteria a new gene. The bacteria can then make the protein coded by the new gene. The protein may end being something such as human insulin or some other protein the bacteria don't normally produce. Your welcome Habs 13
Genetically modified bacteria can be used to produce. This is a transgenic bacteria.
True. When human genes are inserted into bacteria and produce proteins, it demonstrates that genetic material from humans has been introduced into another organism, making the bacteria transgenic.
Yes. In fact, currently insulin manufacturers worldwide use transgenic (recombinant) bacteria to produce insulin efficiently.
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)
Some transgenic cows are engineered to produce human proteins to create substitutes or other alternatives to such things like breast feeding, baby formula and non-transgenic cow milk. They also are created to be an alternative for people who have specific protein allergies.

Yes. Most are herbicide resistant (soybean, canola) or produce insecticidal proteins (BT corn, cotton).

Use a restriction enzyme to cut the insulin gene from human DNA. 5175286717
Insertion of a transgene into the genome during developmental stages produces transgenic animals.
