How has Recombinant DNA technology impacted the healthcare industry?

Options

  1. ABy increasing crop yields
  2. BBy reducing post-harvest losses
  3. CBy mass producing safe and effective therapeutics
  4. DBy increasing the nutritional value of foods

Correct answer

C. By mass producing safe and effective therapeutics

Step-by-step solution

The recombinant DNA technological processes have made immense impact in the area of healthcare by enabling mass production of safe and more effective therapeutic drugs. Further, the recombinant therapeutics do not induce unwanted immunological responses as is common in case of similar products isolated from non-human sources. At present, about 30 recombinant therapeutics have been approved for human-use the world over. In India, 12 of these are presently being marketed.
