Detailed explanation-1: -Recombinant DNA technology has been effectively used to produce various human proteins in microorganisms, such as insulin and growth hormone, used in the treatment of diseases (see Chapter 4: Recombinant DNA Technology and Genetically Modified Organisms).
Detailed explanation-2: -Through recombinant DNA techniques, bacteria have been created that are capable of synthesizing human insulin, human growth hormone, alpha interferon, hepatitis B vaccine, and other medically useful substances.
Detailed explanation-3: -Applications of recombinant DNA in genetic engineering are: For the production of vaccines like the hepatitis B vaccine. Production of transgenic plants with improved qualities like insect and drought resistance and nutritional enrichment. Therapeutic protein production like insulin.
