Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option B: Insulin
Concept:

Recombinant protein production in bacterial hosts.

Solution:

Recombinant human insulin (Humulin) was the first commercially approved therapeutic product of genetic engineering, synthesized by inserting human proinsulin gene cDNA into genetically engineered Escherichia coli cells.

Why other options are incorrect:

  • Erythropoietin: A recombinant glycoprotein produced to treat anemia, not diabetes mellitus.


  • Growth hormone: Recombinant somatotropin is used to treat pituitary dwarfism and growth disorders.


  • Vaccine: Immunological preparations used to prevent infectious diseases rather than regulate blood glucose levels.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
