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 else can I help you with?
Can only bacteria be genitically engineered?
Not at all. There are many foods that you eat that have been genetically engineered to produce something better or faster than before.
A substance produced by genetically-engineered bacteria is?
Insulin - The Dude That's Friends With THE DUDE
What is DNA technology is being used to produce medicines by?
Growing genetically engineered bacteria and collecting human DNA/proteins that they produce.
When insulin was being commercially produced in genetically engineered bacteria and yeast it was obtained from the pancreas of what?
When insulin was being commercially produced in genetically engineered bacteria and yeast, it was obtained from the pancreas of pigs and cows. This animal insulin was then purified and used as a template to create synthetic human insulin through genetic engineering processes.
Disadvantages of genetically modified insulin?
Advantages * Cheaper to be made then by normal methods * the E.coli bacteria are friendly to the body * bacteria can be placed in yoghurt- 1-3 yoghurt's a day should be all you would need * bacteria can produce exact amount of insulin needed in response to the host's needs * no allergy problems - using pig insulin caused problems for people allergic to pigs Disadvantages * is still being tested with mice * yoghurt would need to be eaten regularly to replace bacteria
The first genetically engineered organism was?
The first genetically engineered organism was Escherichia coli bacteria in 1973 by Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen.
A single isolated gene can be cloned MOST rapidly using genetically engineered?
bacteria
Is there a way to mass produce proteins?
Genetically engineered organisms. Bacteria, yeasts, spiders, goats, etc. have been genetically engineered to mass produce several proteins of medical interest.
How are genetically modified bacteria grown?
Just like any other bacteria. It depends on its growth requirements. They don't usually require anything extra unless engineered to need a particular nutrient. Agar would be the most common media used to grow bacteria and probably genetically engineered bacteria too.
Can only bacteria be genitically engineered?
Not at all. There are many foods that you eat that have been genetically engineered to produce something better or faster than before.

The production of certain human hormones by genetically engineered bacteria results from?
Combing a portion of human DNA with bacterial DNA and inserting this into bacteria
Genetically engineered antibodies?
Antibodies: chemical that are like glue to specific pathogenes. They stick to bacteria and viruses and make them incapable of effecting their manevolent lifecycle. Genetically engineered: Engineers fooling bacteria, plants or animals into making specified chemical for us. When I'm sick I'm all for them.
Vaccines can now be genetically engineered by inserting the genes that encode the pathogen's surface proteins into the?
DNA of harmless bacteria or viruses.
From which bacteria did scientists isolate a gene to help produce a genetically engineered cotton that resists boll-worm?
tell meh
World's first genetically engineered pharmaceutical product?
The world's first genetically engineered pharmaceutical product was Humulin, approved by the FDA in 1982. Humulin is a synthetic form of human insulin that is produced using genetically modified bacteria to help manage diabetes.
How are genetically engineered oil eating bacteria produced?
Genetically engineered oil-eating bacteria are produced by inserting specific genes into the bacterial genome through a process called genetic engineering. These genes usually code for enzymes that enable the bacteria to metabolize oil as a food source. Once the genes are successfully integrated into the bacteria's DNA, they can begin producing the enzymes and consuming oil in their environment.
