Which of the following is most clearly a benefit of genetic engineering? a. transfer of modified genes from a modified corn plant to a nearby standard corn plant b. appearance of early onset arthritis in a genetically modified sheep c. production of human insulin through genetic modification of bacterial genes d. unpredictable genetic changes in a cow modified to have fewer fat cells

C. production of human insulin through genetic modification of bacterial genes.

Explanation:

Genetic engineering is a process of modification of the genome of the organisms. It involves the introduction of new genes into the genome of the organism so as to obtain the expression of desirable traits. Also some genes can be removed from the organisms so to prevent the occurrence of symptoms of disease and disorders.

An insulin is a hormone produce by the human pancreatic beta cells. The pancreas detect the increase in concentration of the glucose in the bloodstream in response it releases the insulin hormone which directs the cells of the liver to convert the glucose into glycogen.

The production of insulin hormone by the bacterial genes is the most likely benefit of genetic engineering. This is because of the fact that secretion of insulin is the property of the human body but due to modification of bacterial genome with the human genes the bacteria is capable of producing insulin hormone. This bacterial cell generated insulin can be useful for the treatment of human diseases and disorders.
