Describe the process of altering the genetic variation of a cell using a genetically modified virus for human gene therapy. In t
Len [333]
In human gene therapy, a genetically modified virus (a.k.a. a viral vector) can alter the genetic variation of a cell, but not all viral vectors do.

The process often begins with the delivery of or creation of a segment of viral double stranded DNA (containing the gene you want to introduce). Then typically an enzyme known as an integrase cuts the ends of the segment of viral DNA and also cuts open the cell's DNA. Then the viral DNA is integrated/ inserted into the cell's DNA. The connecting ends are ligated together and adjusted so that the nucleotide base pairs match up.

This in the future may affect the gene pool for instance if the viral DNA (your gene) was inserted in the middle of another gene or important regulatory sequence of the cell DNA, and this alteration may be passed on into offspring and become present in the gene pool, which could have bad effects.

The effects on the gene pool really depends on what the virus ends up doing. For example, it may fix the function of a damaged gene which is the goal, and allow for a working gene to be in the gene pool, which would be good. The problem with gene therapy is that it's difficult to predict 100% what the virus will do every time it is given to a patient.

But it's very important to consider that it will only affect the gene pool if the virus is able to enter and alter germ cells (reproductive cells). If the virus, enters somatic cells (regular body cells) this will not be passed on to future generations. So viruses can be designed to avoid germ cells and avoid this gene pool issue. Also, some viral vectors use viruses that do not integrate their DNA, the cells just express the viral DNA (create the desired protein from it) and over time the viral DNA is degraded/ lost which wouldn't pose this threat.

This is long, but I hope it helped!

Why are chromosomes important to mitosis?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

The daughter cells need a copy of every chromosome in order to replicate and separate.

Explanation:

Cells have to replicate their genetic material to make a whole other cell. Before mitosis the cells need this step for mitosis.

Which of the following correctly describes the structure of the typical eukaryotic genome?
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Diploid.

Explanation:

DNA is present in the genetic material of all the eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms.The eukaryotic genome contains DNA wraps around the histone proteins. Multiple distinct chromosomes are present in the eukaryote genome.

The eukaryotic genome are generally linear structure with the two copies of each chromosome. This makes the eukaryotic genome as diploid structure.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).

What types of organisms reproduce by binary fission?
DaniilM [7]
Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction used by members of domains archaea and bacteria among other organisms. Like mitosis (in eukaryotic cells), it results in cell division of the original cell to produce two viable cells that can repeat the process. Hope I’ve helped ;)
