Question

Which of these is NOT a way in which a GM animals contribute to an increased food supply?


A. Genetically modified pigs have been engineered, and they produce more lean meat than non-GM pigs.

B. Growth hormone genes have been used to make transgenic salmon, which grow much more quickly than wild salmon.

C. Cows have increased milk production because they have been injected with hormones made by recombinant bacteria.

D. Bacteria are engineered to produce human insulin, which is administered to people with diabetes.

Answer 1

D. Humans and diabetes has nothing to do with an increase on food supply. 

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer would be option D.

Insulin production through bacteria is an example of pharmaceutical application of biotechnology or genetically modified organisms.

In this, insulin producing human genes are expressed in the bacterial system which results in the production of insulin.

Due to production from human genes, it does not possess allergic or immunologic risk factors as compared to the insulin which was used to obtain from cattle.
