Answer:

D. Scientists use viruses to insert specific gene sequences.

Explanation:

Gene Therapy:

  • Gene therapy is a treatment approach for genetic diseases that involves either the removal or the replacement of the defective gene with a normal one.
  • Gene therapy is currently an experimental procedure that utilizes <em>in-vivo</em> (directly into body) and <em>ex-vivo</em> (taking cells outside, treating them and injecting them back into the body.
  • Gene therapy involves the use of two kinds of vectors i.e. vehicles for carrying and injecting the normal gene into body cells:
  1. <u>Viral vectors are modified viruses that infect the target cells and inject the normal gene in to them.</u>
  2. Non-viral vectors mostly comprise polymers (such as lipid based particles etc.) that encapsulate the normal gene and fuse with the cell membrane of the target cells.

The answer is <span>D) Organisms in the population must express no mating preferences.

Some of the conditions that must be met for a </span><span>population or an allele to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium are:

1. The population must be <u>very la</u><u>rge</u> - so A) could not be the right answer.
2. There must be <u>no migration</u> and population must be isolated - so B) could not be the right answer.
3. There must be <u>no mutations</u> - so C) could not be the right answer.
4. There must be <u>random mating</u>, which means there are <u>no mating preferences</u> - so, D) is the right answer.
