Which of the following is a hormone that can be easily produced on a large scale?

• A. Pheromones
• B. Insulin
• C. Hexokinase
• D. Both A and B

Answer 1

The correct option is B Insulin

Insulin is the hormone which is required for the regulation of the blood glucose level. The person who is suffering from diabetes cannot produce insulin in sufficient amounts. The bacteria was modified genetically with the help of vector containing the insulin gene. The bacteria were allowed to grow in high numbers and produce insulin on a commercial scale which can be used for the diabetic patients.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
