- B2 GENETIC ENGENEERING
- It is the removal of genes from the DNA of one organism and the insertion into the DNA of another organism
- Genes can be swapped across species
- The gene you want is cut out a human chromosome using special enzymes
- The whole process is carried out on an industrial scale so that masses of insulin is produced in a continuous process
- The bacteria is tricked into carrying out the instructions of the human gene and producing the protein, insulin
- Produces a unique set of genes

- B2 GENETIC ENGENEERING
- Can be used to produce large quantities of insulin
- Helps sufferers of diabetes
- Once the bacteria is cultivated so that it multiplies so that it multiplies many times enough insulin is produced it can be filtered off and collected
