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.
Answer:
The correct option is <em>C. Non-genetic factors can influence expression.</em>
Explanation:
Non- genetic factors can be described as factors other than genetic makeup. These factors include environmental factors and factors arising from the lifestyle of an organism.
Certain studies have shown that both the genetic as well as the non- genetic factors play a role in the development of certain characteristics.
In the above-mentioned scenario, both the monozygotic twins have diabetes but one of them is affected 70% of the time due to his lifestyle. The person might be consuming more sugars and alcohol.
