The vector that would be the
best choice for cystic fibrosis gene therapy is adeno-associated virus for it
has valuable reasons. First, it is huge enough to carry the gene, second, it
will infect the right type of tissue, third, it will not cause an immune
response and lastly, it infects the particular cells that divide irregularly. Therefore,
this vector will definitely treat cystic fibrosis for it can target affected
cells, which is a great help in the normal functioning of an organ.

Answer:
1. replication
2. gene
3. strand polarity
4. translation
5. complementary base pairing
6. chromosome
7. antiparallel
8. transcription
9. allele
Explanation:
1. Replication is the process by which DNA is duplicated or the process of making another copy of DNA.
2. Gene is the physical unit of heredity i.e a segment of DNA transferred from parents to offsprings. A gene also encodes a useful products such as protein.
3. A DNA strand is a polar molecule, which is attributed to the phosphate group at the 5'-end of DNA and the hydroxyl group at the 3'-end of DNA.
4. Translation is the process whereby the information in a mRNA molecule is used to synthesize a protein.
5. Complementary base pairing is a phenomenon whereby Adenine (A) binds to thymine (T), guanine (G) binds to cytosine (C).
6. A chromosome contains of single long molecule of DNA coiled together around histone proteins. The chromosome is associated with different types of proteins.
7. In the double-stranded DNA molecule, one strand runs from 5' to 3' and the other runs from 3' to 5'. This is called ANTIPARALLEL nature of DNA.
8. Transcription is the process by which a DNA molecule is used to synthesize a mRNA single strand.
9. Allele is the alternative or contrasting form of a gene. Each allele is contributed by each parent
I have a question are you asking what are the molecules of a shark or something
Answer: The cells have differentiated.
Explanation:
The process by which a cell changes from one type to another is called cellular differentiation. When this happens, the cell changes to a more specialized type. So this creates differentiated daughter cells which are important in a multicellular organism because <u>they are able to perform different and specialised functions</u> in an organism.
