reproduction for insulin production by genetic engineering.

Respuesta :

emilys2022
ADVANTAGES
1. Biotechnologically produced insulin is indistinguishable from human insulin produced in the pancreas and therefore, is less likely to cause allergic reactions in diabetics.
2. Large quantities of insulin can be produced at the same time.

DISADVANTAGES
1. Some diabetics complain of an increase in episodes of hypoglycemic complications 5.
2. The production cost tends to be high.

Insulin is produced by asexual reproduction, using the Biotechnology known as genetic engineering.

What are the advantages?

The advantages include

  • Production of large quantities of insulin at the same time.
  • This artificial insulin is very similar to the human insulin produced in the pancreas and that's why there is very less chance to cause allergic reactions in diabetics.

What are the disadvantages?

  • The production cost of insulin by this method tends to be high.
  • Due to this insulin, some diabetics complain of an increase in episodes of hypoglycemic complications i.e, cases of dementia, falls, fractures, and heart attacks.
