Question

Which of the following is most clearly a benefit of genetic engineering? A. unpredictable genetic changes in a cow modified to have fewer fat cells B. appearance of early onset arthritis in a genetically modified sheep C. production of human insulin through genetic modification of bacterial genes D. transfer of modified genes from a modified corn plant to a nearby standard corn plant

Answer 1

C should be the answer :)

Answer 2

production of human insulin through genetic modification of bacterial genes

Step-by-step explanation:

Genetic engineering refers to the changing or modifying of the genes of a plant or animal to produce specific characteristics. The benefits of genetic engineering are reflected in the successful outcome or production of desirable traits as a result of the changes. The risks for genetic engineering include the appearance of unwanted side effects, inability to predict later changes, and unplanned effects on the environment.
