The first commercial application of genetic engineering was the use of bacteria to make insulin, a medicine needed by diabetics.

Before the use of genetically-engineered bacteria, insulin had to be harvested from the pancreases of slaughtered animals. How has genetic engineering most likely improved the lives of diabetics

Answer:

The question is incomplete, it lacks options. The options are:

A) It has made the demand for insulin decrease.

B) It has made the incidence of diabetes decrease.

C) It has made it easier for diabetics to inject themselves with insulin.

D) It has made insulin cheaper and more readily available.

The answer is D

Explanation:

Genetic engineering is a biotechnological procedure that involves the transfer of genes from one organism to another using biotechnology. In this case, bacteria cells are said to be genetically modified because their genetic content is tampered with and the genes that produces the insulin protein in humans is added into their genome. Hence, they transcribe and translate this gene to produce the protein-insulin.

Diabetic patients cannot produce this insulin in their system. Hence, the insulin produced from this genetically modified bacteria cells can be administered to diabetics via injection. This genetically modified way of producing insulin has proven to be a far better option to the previous practice of slaughtering cattles and pigs to obtain this protein because the GM method allows insulin to be produced in large amounts making it available and cheaper to diabetics.

3. Roads in urban areas are generally
vovangra [49]

Answer:

parallel and intersect at right angles

Explanation:

The roads in the urban areas tend to be very well organized and constructed. They tend to be parallel to each other, and also to intersect at right angels. The reason for this kind of building of the roads in the urban areas is to make the movement in the urban areas much easier and more efficient, mostly putting the accent on the traffic. It is a fact that the traffic is a big problem in the urban areas, so by constructing the roads in a well organized manner, the traffic jam eases up and the citizens can move more easily and quickly.

List three ways in which rods and cones differ in structure or function
qwelly [4]

<span>1.       </span>Cones perceive light in color while rods perceive light in black and white.

<span>2.       </span>Rods can perceive dim light, unlike cones. The rods are located at the edges of the eyes. This is why it easier to perceive an image in the dark through the corner of the eyes.

<span>3.       </span>The discs that compose the cones are usually partially open to the surrounding vitreous fluid while those of the rods are closed.
