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

Biology
1 answer:
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.

An alpha helix or a beta-pleated sheet are examples of what level of protein structure?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Secondary level of protein structure

Explanation:

The proteins are formed of the monomer units called amino acids which bond with each other via peptide bond and form a linear peptide structure called the primary level structure of the protein.

The proteins to perform several functions in a cell undergoes structural conformation and attain the helical form called alpha helix due to the involvement of alpha carbon in bond formation and a pleated sheet called beta-pleated sheet due to the involvement of beta carbon. These structures are known as a secondary level of protein structure.

Thus, a Secondary level of protein structure is the correct answer.
