Relate the use of genetic engineering to the treatment of human illnesses such as hemophilia. I need help

Biology

matrenka [14]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Hemophilia is caused by a defective or missing  clotting factor VIII . This causes a subject to lose excess blood in case of a cut. This clotting factor is coded for  a gene in the DNA of the blood  platelet cells. A mutation in this gene causes hemophilia.

Genetic engineering allows for gene therapy to be possible to rectify the defective gene. This is done at the embryo stage. The gene in the X chromosome (because this is a sex-linked gene) is rectifying using tools like the CRISPR Cas9 tool.

What genus of protists appears to contradict the statement that unicellularity restricts cell size?
Soloha48 [4]

The correct answer is D. Caulerpa

Explanation:

Protists are a type of unicellular organisms that are eukaryotic which means they contain a defined nucleus but that are not plants, animals or fungus. Considering protists only contain one cell in most of the cases they are small or restricted in size this includes Dictyostelium which are microscopic organisms that consume bacteria and plasmodium. However, in the case of Caulerpa, these are not limited to size as Caulerpa is a type of alga that has macroscopic cells and indeed in some cases can be around 3 meters long. On the other hand, Ulva is also an alga but is considered in the plants' domain and therefore is not a protist. Therefore the one that contradicts contradict the statement that unicellularity restricts cell size in protists is the Caulerpa.
