A physician has a patient with diabetes. Due to a mutation in the patient’s insulin gene, he does not make the insulin protein. In order to treat the patient, the insulin protein will be made in a lab by inserting the human gene for insulin into bacteria. The bacteria will then produce insulin, which will be collected and given to the diabetic patient. Which type of genetic technology is involved in the production of the insulin protein? A. Recombinant DNA

B. Selective Breeding

C. DNA Fingerprinting

D. Reproductive Cloning
