Why did scientists edit the genes of bacteria to produce insulin?

• Because the bacteria were diabetic

• Because bacteria have simple DNA that is easier to manipulate, making it easy to produce insulin in a lab

• Because bacteria's complex DNA was perfect for insulin production

• Because insulin has no use outside of a lab setting
