Solution

The correct option is A Humulin
Humulin is the genetically engineered insulin produced by inserting human insulin gene into a host cell (E. coli) which was then allowed to grow and reproduce normally. The inserted human DNA lead them to produce a synthetic version of human insulin. Hybrid is a offspring of two genetically dissimilar animals or plants which carries genetic material from both parents and express new specific genetic characteristics. The dark bluish or brownish pigment obtained by the oxidation of haeme that has contain iron in the ferric state is known as haematin. Hybridomas are the hybrids produced by introducing specific antigen into a mouse to collect antibody-producing cells. These cells are then fused with myeloma cell to produce hybridomas which multiply indefinitely and thus provide infinite source of a specific antibody.
