During gene therapy, Viruses act as vectors to carry the normal gene into the genome of the stem cells.

Gene therapy uses viruses to implant therapeutic genes into stem cells. Viruses proliferate by injecting their genetic material into living cells. A virus is utilized to implant a healthy version of the ADA gene into the patient's stem cells in order to treat ADA-SCID.

Since stem cells may regenerate on their own, the need for recurrent injections of therapeutic cells may be reduced or perhaps eliminated in cell-based gene therapy. Gene therapy's main objective is to treat illnesses brought on by damaged genes.

Cell treatment is the transfer of cells to a patient, whereas gene therapy involves the transfer of genetic material into the proper cells. The transfer of genetic material during gene therapy often occurs in vector form.

Consider a situation in which the enzyme is operating at optimum temperature and pH, and has been saturated with substrate. What
almond37 [142]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C, that is, increase the concentration of the enzyme.

Explanation:

Biological molecules or proteins that enhance the rate of a chemical reaction taking place within the cell are known as enzymes. These proteins play an essential part in the proper functioning of the body, as they help in the process of metabolism and digestion.  

In the given case, if the enzyme gets saturated with the substrate, and is working at optimum pH and temperature, then to enhance the rate of the reaction the only thing that can be done is to enhance the concentration of the enzyme. However, further stimulation of some of the enzymes can be done with the addition of allosteric activators in the reaction, otherwise, enhancing the concentration of the enzyme is the only way.

Which of the following is a system of organs that collects oxygen from the external environment and transports it to the bloodst
ehidna [41]

Answer:D

Explanation:

Respiration is the process of taking in oxygen and release of Carbondioxide in the lungs(breathing),the absorption of the oxygen in the alveolar, into the blood stream for distribution to tissues , the combustion of the metabolites(glucose,amino acids, and fatty acids and glycerol)with the inhaled oxygen to give energy as ATPS and water vapour.

In the Hardy-Weinberg equation shown below, p is the frequency of the dominat allele, and q is the recessive allele
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Option D- frequency of the heterozygous qenotype

Explanation:

In the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium , 2pq stands for the genotype frequency of heterozygotes (Aa) in a population at the state of equilibrium. dominant homozygotes (AA) is represented by the p-square and q- square represents the recessive homozygotes (aa) frequency. p represents the allele frequency of A Allele and q stands for the allele frequency of the allele a. Summation of the terms gives an equal to 1(100%). The sum of all of these terms is always equal to due to the fact that the 3 frequencies in the equation are the available or possible allele combinations.

Hardy-Weinberg is relevant for it helps us in comparison of a population's actual genetic structure as time goes on along with the genetic structure we are to get if really population was in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium state that is population was not evolving.
