Scientists genetically modify goats with a human gene for a blood anti-clotting factor. How are these genetically modified goats most likely produced?

• Injected the anti-clotting factor into the milk-producing glands of the animals.

• Added modified DNA into the milk of the animals.

• Inserted the human gene into the egg cells of goats.

• Altered the nutritional requirements of newborn goats.

What best describes human insulin produced by genetically engineered bacteria?

• • • Produced through exposure of bacteria cells to radiation, resulting in a mutation.

• May have fewer side effects than insulin extracted from the pancreas of other animals.

• Will not function normally in humans because it is produced by bacteria.

• Produced by inserting human insulin into bacteria cells.
