matrenka [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Ice is the solid form of water, and its density is less than the density of water. This is the reason why ice floats on water.

Density of water is more and ice is less so ice floats on water. This property of  ice helps the plants and animals living in the colder regions.

This is the reason why the water beneath ice has optimum temperature and plants and animals live inside it without being freezed.

Why are polygenic diseases less suited to gene therapy?
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

<u>Polygenic therapies are more likely to show </u><u>unintended effects</u><u> in other regions of the genome likely resulting in harmful diseases.</u>

<u />

Explanation:

Gene therapy involves biotechnological techniques that add or remove gene sequences in the genome. These are typically used in eliminating harmful genes that cause genetic diseases or disorders and are generally thought to improve an individual's quality of life.

Polygenic traits are controlled by several genes. Similarly, polygenic diseases may be caused by variations in several gene sequences. These include hypertension, heart disease, and diabetes. Polygenic therapies are more likely to show unintended effects in other regions of the genome, leading to other deleterious disease-causing effects.
