Question

What procedure is happening in this diagram?

Answer 1

Here the genetic engineering using insulin gene is done.

Explanation:

Genetic engineering is the process by which an eukaryotic gene is isolated and is attached with a plasmid and inserted into the bacterial cells for the production of that protein and further utilisation of that protein. A plasmid is the extranuclear DNA that is present in some bacteria.

Here the insulin gene is isolated from the human cell, then it's attached with the bacterial plasmid and inserted in the fresh bacteria. This will lead to production of Insulin. This insulin is extracted, purified and can be used to treat diabetes mellitus. Thus, this is an example of Genetic Engineering.
