Thanks!

Here this will help ya.

By the way the insulin gene is cut from a human chromosome by an enzyme named restriction enzyme, and this newly cut gene is inserted into a plasmid by using the ligase enzyme, so if they asked you how to make genetic engineering you have to mention those two enzymes and what they do.

I hope that helped you, and good luck with your exam :)

Gene of interest is isolated by a restriction endonuclease enzyme.
The bacterial plasmid is also isolated and cut open by the same restriction endonuclease enzyme.
Gene is then taken and placed inside the opening of the plasmid using ligase enzyme.
The recombinant plasmid is then taken and placed inside the bacteria, its now called transgenic bacteria.
Bacteria starts to divide forming insulin.

There gl mark ;)
