First, scientists isolate the gene that controls insulin production. Then, they take that gene and insert into a plasmid (a circular ring of DNA found in bacteria). When the bacterium with that plasmid reproduces, it carries that insulin-producing gene. Then they can either mass-reproduce that bacteria or transfer the plasmid to another rapidly-reproducing bacteria. After some time, they harvest the insulin from the bacteria.

Allushta [10]

False, I'd say. Mammals usually adapt based on environment. Now, I know predators are "apart" of the environment, but I don't think that'd be it. I'd bet more money on saying mammals evolve based on environment adaptation. Sorry if I didn't answer your question or if I didn't get my point across well.
