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.

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

The phenotypic variation for the trait is continuous

Explanation:

Genetically speaking, quantitative traits are controlled by many genes, classes are not easily distinguishable and there is a continuous distribution of the phenotype. These characteristics refer to measurements of quantities (weights, volumes, measurements: kg, m, cm, g, m2, etc.).

In other words, quantitative characteristics are those that exhibit continuous variations and are partly of non-genetic origin; that is, they are greatly affected by the environment.
