The examples that involve DNA technology in medicine are:
- The hormone testosterone can be produced through genetic engineering.
(This is an example of using recombinant DNA/biotech to produce therapeutic molecules.)
- Vaccines can be mass produced from transgenic bacteria.
(Vaccines made from recombinant proteins expressed in bacteria or yeast are a direct application of DNA technology.)
The others are not DNA-technology examples: pacemakers are electronic devices, antibiotics like amoxicillin are chemical/fermentation drugs (not necessarily a recombinant DNA product), and drought-tolerant crops are agricultural biotech rather than a medical application.
