Which of the following is a disadvantage of genetically modified plants?

The first hormone artificially produced by culturing bacteria is

Genetically engineered bacteria have been used in the commercial production of 

Identify the correct pair of combinations.

The transgenic animals are generally produced for all of the following needs, except

Some of the steps involved in the production of humulin are given below. Choose the correct sequence.
I. Synthesis of gene (DNA) for human insulin artificially
II. Culturing recombinant E.coli in bioreactors
III. Purification of humulin
IV. Insertion of human insulin gene into plasmid
V. Introduction of recombinant plasmid into E.coli
VI. Extraction of recombinant gene product from E.coli

The two polypeptides of human insulin linked together by

The figure above illustrates gene expression in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells:
Human insulin, a protein hormone that controls blood sugar levels, and many other eukaryotic proteins can be mass-produced by inserting eukaryotic genes into bacteria.

If an unaltered gene for human insulin was inserted into the DNA of a bacteria cell, how would the expression of the insulin gene be affected?
