Answer:
D) It replaces a defective gene with a healthy gene
Explanation:
Gene therapy is the process of replacing defective genes with healthy ... genes to help the body fight or treat disease, or deactivating problem genes.
Answer:
converted into fat and stored in adipose tissue
Explanation:
When protein is taken in excess amount, because it cannot be stored in the body, it can be broken down to amino acids, which is further used as carbon skeletons to synthesize fats, which is then further stored in the adipose tissues.
When the body is not receiving enough calories from other nutrient sources like carbohydrates and fats, the available protein is the used as energy to meet the body's energy demands, by converting it to fat.
Note that, excess intake of protein can be harmful to the body.
<h2>Neural crest </h2>
Explanation:
The neural crest likely forms: neurons and glia of the peripheral nervous system
- The neural crest are bilaterally paired strips of cells arising in the ectoderm at the margins of the neural tube
- In the body region, neural crest cells also contribute the peripheral nervous system (both neurons and glia) consisting of sensory ganglia (dorsal root ganglia), sympathetic and parasympathetic ganglia and neural plexuses within specific tissues/organs
- The nervous system is made up of specialized cells which includes nerve cells (or neurons) and glial cells (or glia)
- Neurons are the basic functional units of the nervous system, and they generate electrical signals called action potentials, which allow them to quickly transmit information over long distances
- Glia are also essential to nervous system function, but they work mostly by supporting the neurons
