The vector that would be the
best choice for cystic fibrosis gene therapy is adeno-associated virus for it
has valuable reasons. First, it is huge enough to carry the gene, second, it
will infect the right type of tissue, third, it will not cause an immune
response and lastly, it infects the particular cells that divide irregularly. Therefore,
this vector will definitely treat cystic fibrosis for it can target affected
cells, which is a great help in the normal functioning of an organ.
Answer: No, mRNA ( messenger RNA) model does not closely resemble the DNA strand from which it is transcribed.
This is because mRNA strand is complementary to the strand of DNA template that is used in its synthesis during the process called transcription. The polarity of DNA template is 3' to 5' whereas that of mRNA transcribed is 5' to 3' that is both the strands have antiparallel polarity.
This is the reason template DNA is referred antisense. mRNA strand more closely resembles the sense strand ( which is complementary strand of DNA template in a double helix).
Answer:
The wechsler intelligence scale for children (WISC) is a good indicator of innate "genetic" ability for children of six to sixteen years old.
Explanation:
Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) is basically a system of testing IQ of children from six to sixteen years old. This testing was created by David Wechsler, who stated that intelligence is a global quality and it should be reflected in children's verbal as well as non-verbal abilities.
This testing system is used by schools for several purposes:
• To evaluate the performance of kids during placement process.
• It is also used to evaluate abilities of dis-abled children or deferentially able children.
• IQ scores from WISC can be used to diagnose the problems of the children such as mental re-tardation or some specific learning dis-ability. It can also be used to determine the problems of the children who face hyperactivity or attention deficiency.
• In addition, the test can also diagnose brain related and neuro-psychological disorder.
Point to remember:
The WISC system is not useful to determine the extreme form of intelligence like IQ below 40 and above 160. Wechsler himself focused on this point many times that test is not adequate for children with IQs of below 70 or above 130. Despite of this fact, people use this test to determine the intelligence of deferentially able children who usually have IQ above 130 that is not very appropriate thing.
