Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Recombinant DNA is a technology scientists developed that made it possible to insert a human gene into the genetic material of a common bacterium. This “recombinant” micro-organism could now produce the protein encoded by the human gene. Scientists build the human insulin gene in the laboratory.
Detailed explanation-2: -Recombinant Insulin It was first produced in 1983 by an American Biotech company. The trademark name is Humulin® and it is licensed to Eli Lilly, the company which manufactured it for the first time.
Detailed explanation-3: -pBR322 vector is used in the production of human insulin through recombinant DNA technology.
