Which of the following statements is not true of the use of genetically engineered bacteria for insulin production? using genetically engineered bacteria makes insulin production much faster and produces larger quantities. genetically engineered bacteria make higher quality insulin that is more easily used by diabetics. genetically engineered insulin made from bacteria is much cheaper to produce.

In the past, insulin used by diabetics was obtained from pig pancreases. Now that we know the DNA sequence of the gene responsible, we can insert this gene into a plasmid (technically called a construct) and transform some e.coli (usually strain HB101). This allows large quantities to be produced with a much reduced cost. The gene sequence is basically the same and the resulting insulin is basically the same from both sources.

The punnett square is the device used to predict genetics.
