Assertion: Using biotechnology human insulin
can be produced into bacterial cells.

Reason: To produce human insulin the A, B and
C polypeptides of the human insulin are
produced in the bacterial cells, separately
extracted and combined by creating disulfide
bonds.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

If Assertion is true but Reason is false

The correct answer is C (If Assertion is true but Reason is false) because while human insulin can be produced in bacterial cells using biotechnology, the process does not involve separately extracting and combining A, B, and C polypeptides with disulfide bonds. The C peptide is part of proinsulin, which is then processed.
