Answer 1

The human insulin gene is introduced into bacteria by cutting and pasting it into a plasmid. This process typically involves using restriction enzymes to cut both the plasmid DNA and the insulin gene, followed by ligation to attach the gene to the plasmid. The modified plasmid can then be introduced into bacteria through transformation.
