Hello everyone here We have a question asking us which of the following statements actually represents the routine use of recombinant DNA technology. So what is recombinant DNA technology? Recombinant DNA technology involves using enzymes and various laboratory techniques to manipulate and isolate D. N. A. Segments of interest. So the end result is the manipulation and isolation of D. N. A. Segments of interest. Now let's look at our choice is a production of insulin. Yes. Be genetic manipulation of human embryos to correct genetic disorders. That is incorrect. See gene therapy to cure sickle cell anemia. That is incorrect. D all the above that is incorrect. So our answer here is a the production of insulin. Thank you for watching. Bye.
