Answer:

The main advantage of genetically engineered insulin is its species specificity which reduces allergic reactions.

Explanation:

Genetically engineered insulin is also known as human insulin. It is produced by genetically engineered or genetically modified bacteria. It is indistinguishable to natural human insulin release by beta cells of the pancreas so it causes fewer allergic reactions to the patient.

Animal insulin is produced from the pancreas of animals such as cows, horses, and pigs. This produced animal insulin extracted and purified for clinical use.

So, the main advantage of human insulin or genetically modified insulin is its species specificity.
