Genetic Engineering: Insulin Production Process

The video tutorial explains the process of genetic engineering, focusing on insulin production. It outlines five steps: isolating the insulin gene, preparing a plasmid vector, inserting the gene into the vector, transferring the gene into cells, and using modified bacteria to produce insulin in a fermenter.

What is the first step in the process of genetic engineering?

Describe the role of enzymes in isolating the required gene.

What is a vector in the context of genetic engineering, and how is it prepared?

Explain the process of inserting the human insulin gene into the plasmid.

What happens to the genetically modified cells after they are developed?
