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

Biology
1 answer:
Papessa [141]4 years ago
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.

What is the function of folds and villi? A. Allowing particles in the small intestines to flow from the jejunum to the ileum B.
mestny [16]

Correct answer: C) Increasing surface area to improve nutrient absorption between the digestive and circulatory systems

The small intestine contains a large number of small finger-like projections called villi, which increases the intestinal surface area and help in the absorption of nutrient from the intestine.

These villi consist of numerous blood vessels, which absorb the food and transport it to the bloodstream.
