Insulin-dependent diabetics depend upon ____________ microorganisms to produce the human protein that they rely upon to uptake glucose from their bloodstreams. A) hybridized B) transgenic C) interactive D) selectively bred

Respuesta :

The answer to this is D.

Answer:

B) transgenic

Explanation:

    If we think of the genome as a book and genes as words, the transgenic technique works like a text editor: you can cut, copy and paste - they all speak the same language. The gene that coordinates insulin production in humans, therefore, does the same within a bacterium, just as the gene that encodes a caterpillar toxin in a bacterium will do the same in a cornstalk. Then were born the genetically modified organisms, also known as transgenic. The much-debated agricultural varieties - soybeans, corn and cotton - are just the latest fruits of this technology.
