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. genotype is round seed

phenotype is Rr

4. genotype is grey fur

phenotype are WW and Ww

5. genotype is short

phenotype is tt

1. genotype is high metabolism

phenotype are HH and Hh

Explanation:

The dominant trait is the capital letter and the reccessive is the lowercase letter.

To do a punnet square you bring down each letter say like problem 1, you bring down capital D down and little d down to each of the 2 squares below them, then you drag the sides to the right of the two squares and you get DD for the first square, then Dd, then below Dd, then next to it DD.

Phenotype is a organism's actual appearence.

Genotype is a gene combination. The gene combination that determines the phenotype

Name one type of mutation which could result in cancer
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Hey, here is your answer mate

Explanation:

These mutations may eventually lead to cancer, particularly mutations in tumor suppressor genes or oncogenes. Mutations in DNA repair genes may be inherited or acquired. Lynch syndrome is an example of the inherited kind. BRCA1, BRCA2, and p53 mutations and their associated syndromes are also inherited.
