  • Q12
    Why are bacteria typically used as GMO's to make Human Growth Factor and Insulin?
    They are simple and reproduce quickly so a lot of hormones can be made quickly.
    They don't have a nucleus so it's easier to get the DNA out.
    Bacteria are very hardy and hard to kill.
    Bacteria are highly complex so the hormones made are very accurate.
