In 1990, scientists at the National Institutes of Health used gene therapy to try to treat a 4-year-old girl suffering from seve

re combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID). This genetic disease made her extremely susceptible to infections. The scientists used a virus to inject normal genes into the girl's immune system cells. The experiment was moderately successful, and the girl's health improved but only for short periods of time. If this form of gene therapy could be fine-tuned, how would it impact society? A. People would need to be genetically tested before having children together. B. Many genetic diseases would be curable. C. The number of infections from genetically-engineered viruses would increase. D. Most Americans would no longer suffer from heart disease.

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>B. Many genetic diseases would be curable. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Gene therapy is intended to acquaint hereditary material into cells in order to compensate for faulty or mutated genes or to make a helpful protein. On the off chance that a faulty gene makes a beneficial protein be flawed or missing, gene therapy might have the option to present a typical duplicate of the gene to reestablish the function of the protein.  

A gene that is embedded straightforwardly into a cell as a rule doesn't work. Rather, a bearer or carrier called as a vector is hereditary built to insert the desired gene.

Darwin realized that the often exquisite fit of species to their environment is primarily the result of
bagirrra123 [75]
Natural Selection.
An easy and important way to remember this is by thinking of a species - let’s say a bright white moth. For ages, these moths have survived beautifully, matching perfectly with the white tree bark they live on, until one day, a smoky building begins pumping its soot into the air. This air begins to change the color of the tree bark to black and the once hidden white moths are now plainly visible to birds who eat them easily. Fortunately, every now and then a moth is born who is darker than the rest - black as soot even. And so, the birds keep eating the white moths but missing the soot-colored ones. As time goes by, the soot-colored moths produce more and more similarly colored moths, who are well hidden from the birds AND after enough time, the only moths that remain are soot-colored. This is why so many species “fit” exquisitely into their environment. They have ALL adapted in some way similar to the soot-colored moth.
