1 answer:

3 0

Since diabetics are not able to make enough insulin, scientists use gene engineering to make it for them. they insert the gene that codes for the production of insulin in the plasmid (circular DNA of bacteria ) to create recombinent DNA, and the bacteria will asexually reproduce, making more and more of the insulin in a short amount of time! hope this helped it took me a long time to understand the whole process in this unit!

Answer:

DNA sequences.

Explanation:

DNA sequences, I believe, are the best evidence of common ancestry since they share more traits with more closely related organisms. The similarities and variances in fossils, anatomy, and embryos are all due to DNA.
