It can be one among a and b, more likely B

OpenStudy (goodkylekiller):

OpenStudy (abhisar):

DNA technology means recombinant dna technology, like production of human insulin by recombinat e.coli

OpenStudy (goodkylekiller):

it cant be cheap to make though so there goes B

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Suppose, when this was not possible, insulin was mainly extracted from pigs, now it can be made by microorganisms. So it's cheap and can be produced in large quantities

OpenStudy (abhisar):
