Question
Diabetes is a group of diseases that affect how the human body uses blood sugar. Insulin is a hormone that lowers the amount of sugar in the bloodstream. Human insulin can be manufactured by inserting an insulin gene into bacterial DNA with an enzyme, as shown.
The human insulin gene is inside a bacterial D-N-A ring.
What is the most likely reason scientists developed this technique of insulin creation?
A.
to eliminate the need for insulin
B.
to create a weaker form of insulin
C.
to create a more expensive form of insulin
D.
to produce a large amount of insulin quickly
