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.

Elan Coil [88]

Answer: because the structure of their cell wall is unable to retain the crystal violet stain

Explanation:

Due to differences in the thickness of a peptidoglycan layer in the cell membrane between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, Gram-positive bacteria (with a thicker peptidoglycan layer) retain crystal violet stain during the decolorization process, while Gram-negative bacteria lose the crystal violet stain

<span>Respiration is the process that is utilized by all living cells in order to create energy. The process is usually carried out in the presence of oxygen (aerobic respiration) but can also take place in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic respiration). Therefore the answer in this case is false.</span><span />
