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.

16. Explain why pollution caused the shift in the phenotypes of the peppered moth during the Industrial Revolution. (2pts)
andrey2020 [161]

Answer/Explanation:

Pollution during the industrial revolution caused trees to become covered with soot, making them darker. This dark appearance meant that the peppered moth, which usually had a light colour, was clearly visible against the tree. This meant it was easier for predators to identify. As a result, their numbers decreased because they were an easier target.

However, there was also a rarer form of the moth, which was dark in colour. These were initially very rare. However, because of the change in the tree colour owing to the industrial revolution, these moths were better suited to the environment, as they were more camouflaged against the dark tree. This meant it was easier for them to avoid predators, and so they were more likely to survive to reproductive age and pass on the genes that produce the dark colour.  This meant that the dark moths increased in number.

fossils give scientists information regarding the living conditions and characteristics of organisms that were found on the eart
Serggg [28]
Hello Wtfiswrongwitmeh, using radiocarbon dating, or carbon dating, you can determine the age of an organic object from the relative proportions of the carbon isotopes it contains. Therefore, if you take the fossils form the fossil record and determine how old they are, you can see how/if they evolved over time.
