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.

Ainat [17]

it’s somehow re-jiggered its taste system so that the attractant that humans used to draw the insect to poison bait—the sugar glucose—now tastes bitter to the roach, and they avoid it. cockroaches began appearing that avoided the baits, and did so not because they were averse to the poison, but because they were averse to the attractant, glucose. This new trait turned out to be heritable, that is, it had a genetic basis.
