Answer:

High-dose chemicals can damage DNA causing genotoxicity, which is defined as damage to DNA or genes. And this can be aggravated since many chemicals have had little toxicological evaluation.

Explanation:

The cancers are caused by mutations in the DNA throughout the life of a person, in such a way that obeying the causative factors, in this case the chemicals, they leave a mutational pattern in the genome of each tumor. There is an interesting biomarker called TGx-DDI, which is based on some genes that are expressed in a cell subjected to the stress produced by the chemical compound. These genes reflect the way in which different pathways can provide information on how cells respond to the chemical.

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The stem cells possess two cardinal characteristics, that is, self-renewal and differentiation. The examples are embryonic stem cells and hematopoietic stem cells. The genetically determined immunodeficiency in a person is generally a result of the defective gene in the hematopoietic stem cells that produce red blood cells, white blood cells, and other components of blood.  

The examples of genetically determined immunodeficiency diseases are SCID, X-linked Agammaglobulinemia, and others. The individual suffering from genetically determined immunodeficiency exhibits a defective gene in hematopoietic stem cells. There are two methods of treatment, that is, stem cell therapy and gene therapy.  

The procedure of stem cell transplantation generally comprises HLA matching, in which the main step is to prevent graft rejection. It is succeeded by harvesting of hematopoietic stem cells from the HLA matched donor. The step of conditioning is performed to eradicate the recipient HSCs by radiotherapy and chemotherapy succeeded by the transfer of harvested donor HSCs to the patient or the recipient.  

A person cannot receive his own stem cells as his or her each and every cell is defective in that specific gene accountable for the disease.
