The genetic engineering of human cells is achieved by treating a relative's cultured bone marrow cells with genetically engineered viruses and then injecting these cells into the patient's bone marrow. So the correct option is C.

<h3>What is gene therapy? </h3><h3> </h3>

A medical approach designed for the treatment or prevention of diseases by fixing genetic problems is called gene therapy. In this treatment,  doctors are able to treat a genetic disorder by changing the genetic makeup of a person.

Gene therapy methods, also referred to as gene addition or gene transfer are used for the purpose of -

  • Introduction of a new gene into the cells that will fight diseases.
  • Introduction of the correct gene sequence to replace the incorrect sequence that is causing the disease.

Therefore the correct option is C.

The greenhouse effect refers to what?
podryga [215]

The green house effect refers to gases trapping the heat energy reflected from earth’s surface.

gases trapping heat energy reflected from the earth's surface.

<u>Explanation:</u>

It is the greenhouse effect that made earth a planet that supports life. if there was no green house effect the earth would have been too cold to live on. Sunlight contains rays like UV and infrared.  

UV rays being harmful are blocked by the ozone layer in the stratosphere. Infrared rays that enter the earth’s atmosphere are trapped by the greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, water vapour, methane etc. the trapped infrared rays help in providing warmth.

Difference between specialist and generalist species and their niches?? Example of both?? A little help please
igor_vitrenko [27]

A generalist species is able to survive in a wide variety of environmental conditions and can make use of lots of different resources. Generalist species have a big niche. Humans, rabbits, house flies, and raccoons would all fall under the generalist species list.

A specialist species can only thrive is a small variety of environmental conditions and/or only has a limited diet. Specialist species have a small niche. Pandas, koalas, and salamanders would all fall under the specialist species list.

Assume a hawk eats five 20 gram birds and one 150 gram rabbit. In terms of biomass, did the
inna [77]

Answer: the rabbit

Explanation:

In ecology, biomass refers to the mass of organisms living within a specific region at a time. Biomass is measured and usually described as:

  • the total mass of the organisms within a community
  • the average masses per unit area

Typically, more numerous organisms, such as producers, have a higher average biomass. This may include plants, animals or microbes such as bacteria and fungi. In terrestrial environments, biomass is distributed in pyramid form; the carnivorous hawk preys on rabbits and birds, which are nearer to the base of the pyramid- each predator population would have a lower biomass than its prey.

The birds weigh 100 grams while the rabbit weighs 150 grams.The rabbit has a higher total mass
