Question

The following process is used to create Humulin, an artificial insulin drug:1. A piece of circular DNA (plasmid) is extracted from bacteria.2. Restriction enzymes cut out a piece.3. The gene for human insulin is inserted.4. This genetically modified plasmid is introduced into a new bacteria cell.5. The cell divides rapidly and starts making insulin.6. Insulin is filtered out, purified, and packaged into bottles and insulin pens forpatients.This is an example of_____(A) transformation(B) bacterial transformation(C) gene cloning(D)gene editing(E)gene amplification

Answer 1

The correct answer is the letter (C) gene cloning

*Gene cloning is the process that isolates and makes copies of the gene. In this case, the gene it copies is insulin inserted in the bacterial cell.
