Question

23 0/2 points multiple choice why did scientists insert the gene for human insulin into bacteria? to make bacteria more human. to eventually insert the bacteria into humans. to prevent bacterial resistance. to produce insulin needed to treat diabetes.

Explanation:

Scientists insert the human insulin gene into bacteria (a process related to genetic engineering in Biology) to utilize bacteria's rapid reproduction to produce large amounts of insulin. This insulin is used to treat diabetes. The other options are illogical: making bacteria "more human" is not the goal, inserting bacteria into humans isn't the purpose, and this process isn't for preventing bacterial resistance.

Answer:

D. To produce insulin needed to treat diabetes (assuming the options are labeled A - D with D being the last option here)
