URGENT BRAINLIST 

Scientists are now capable of genetically engineering bacteria to produce human insulin. This insulin is then used to treat humans with certain medical conditions. Part A: Briefly explain the steps in the process of removing the human gene and inserting it into plasmid DNA. (3 points)
Part B: Human insulin producing bacteria are not the only common and useful for of genetic engineering. There are other organisms that have at least one gene from another organism spliced into their own genetic makeup. These organisms are called ___________ .

Answered by admin @



Part A


Plasmids are extracted from the bacteria


The plasmids are spliced at specific regions using restriction enzymes.


The cut plasmids are incubated with the novel gene and  DNA ligase


Plasmids that will have incorporated the new gene are transformed back into the bacteria


Part B


The answer is  transgenic organisms.
