Solution

The correct option is C i-iv-v-ii-vi-iii

First the human insulin gene is obtained using c-DNA technology and then inserted into a plasmid. The recmbinant plasmid is introduced to E.coli by transformation.The transformed E.coli is selectively cultured in bioreactors and the Insulin protein in extracted and subsequently purified in what is known as downstream processing.
