Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(C) (i), (iv), (v), (ii), (vi), (iii),
The correct sequence for the production of humulin is i, iv, v, ii, vi, iii. First, the gene for human insuli is synthesized artificially. Then, this gene is inserted into a plasmid. The recombinant plasmid is introduced into E. coli. The E. coli is then cultured in bioreactors to produce the insulin protein. The recombinant insulin is extracted from E. coli and finally purified to obtain humulin.
