How do scientists use recombinant DNA technology to produce the drug insulin?

1 answer:

7 0

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.

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, this change of conditions also change the analysis of the situation because the analysis is related to the environmental conditions. When the environmental condition for an organisms changed so it also change its presence in that environment. If there is plenty of resources such as water, food and space for living, the population of that organism will be higher in that region while on the other hand, if this organisms is moved to a place where the resources such as water, food and space is scarce then it will leads to decrease in population of that organisms so we can say that change in conditions also bring change in our analysis.
