Question

In the 1950s, the structure of DNA was discovered by using models and x-ray chromatography. Currently, science has used advanced technology to completely map out the genes in a human’s body. What would be the best advantage of using this information?

Answer 1

Answer: A)gene therapy to correct defective genes that cause diseases

Answer 2

Answer;

Gene therapy to correct defective genes that cause diseases.

Explanation;

• Gene therapy refers to the procedure that involves the introduction of nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) into the cells of an organism for the purpose of correcting abnormalities, such as a mutations or in other words to treat a genetic disease.
• Gene therapy entails bringing a normal and functional gene known as a trans-gene into a cell with altered gene. Another method can bring RNA capable of partially regulating or blocking the expression of an altered gene.
• The nucleic acids are introduced into the patient's cells by means of a viral vector or injected directly into the cells in the form of naked DNA.
