Scientists have been experimenting with gene therapy, which often involves the use of bacteria or viruses to deliver new or modi

fied genes to cells. These scientists believe gene therapy can be used to treat inherited diseases, but it is not yet in wide use even though many people have studied it. Which statement best describes gene therapy?
A. The idea has not yet achieved scientific consensus.
B. The idea has gained scientific consensus against its use.
C. The idea takes too long to test to develop scientific consensus.
D. The idea is supported by most scientists, but a vocal minority disagrees.

Answer;

A. The idea has not yet achieved scientific consensus.

Explanation;

-Gene therapy is an experimental technique that uses genes to treat or prevent disease. In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient’s cells instead of using drugs or surgery.

-Although gene therapy is a promising treatment option for a number of diseases, such as inherited disorders and some types of cancer, the technique remains risky and is still under study to make sure that it will be safe and effective. Which means the idea of gene therapy has not yet achieved scientific consensus.

The general idea behind the electron transport chain is :
rodikova [14]

<span><span>that electrons are shuttled down the chain of electron acceptors, until molecular oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor.

</span>ATP usually releases energy by breaking down the weak phosphate cell present.  The energy released due to the breaking down of the phosphate cell is then utilized. The ATP is converted to ADP. Whenever a cell feels the necessity for energy it releases a phosphate to gather the energy. It is an automatic and ongoing process. The weak bond between the second and the third phosphate is always targeted for turning ATP to ADP. This is the reason ATP is considered the main energy currency for the cell.<span>

Several examples of antisense RNA regulating translation in bacterial cells have been discovered. Molecular geneticists have als
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

An antisense sequence with complementary to the target mRNA encoded by the gene of interest

Explanation:

An antisense sequence is usually a short RNA sequence specifically designed in the laboratory to bind by complementary to the DNA/RNA sequence of interest (usually a target mRNA) whose expression is desired to be inhibited. When an antisense bind to its target mRNA, the antisense sequence acts to block translation, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis. Moreover, it has been shown that the double-stranded antisense-RNA complexes may also increase the susceptibility of the target sequence to RNase H digestion.
