Answer:

brainliest plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Explanation:

1.Stem cells are special human cells that are able to develop into many different cell types. This can range from muscle cells to brain cells

2. Gene therapy is designed to introduce genetic material into cells to compensate for abnormal genes or to make a beneficial protein. If a mutated gene causes a necessary protein to be faulty or missing, gene therapy may be able to introduce a normal copy of the gene to restore the function of the protein.

3.Gene therapy does have risks and limitations. The viruses and other agents used to deliver the "good" genes can affect more than the cells for which they're intended. If a gene is added to DNA, it could be put in the wrong place, which could potentially cause cancer or other damage.

4.Clinical trials of gene therapy in people have shown some success in treating certain diseases, such as: Severe combined immune deficiency. Hemophilia. Blindness caused by retinitis pigmentosa.

5. Few Examples Are:

  • Engineered Natural Killer Cells against Hodgkin's Lymphoma.  
  • Pectic Acid-based Corning Dissolvable Microcarriers for Cell Therapies.
  • Development of Cell Expansion Systems for Gene-edited Blood and Immune Cells.
  • Microsoft's AI Tool for Fine Tuning CRISPR.

In pea plants, tallness (t) is dominant to shortness (t). what are the predicted percentages of the genotypes of the offspring i
Yuri [45]

If a homozygous short plant (tt) is crossed with a heterozygous tall plant (Tt), the percentage of tall offsprings is 50% and the percentage of short offspring is 50%.

  • A heterozygous tall pea plant will have the genotype "Tt" and a homozygous short pea plant will have the genotype "tt" because homozygous means that both alleles are identical.

  • Since 'T' is dominant over 't', any plant with at least one "T" allele will be tall (the dominant trait), regardless of what the other allele is.

  • The punett square of the following problem will have 2 squares with Tt genotype and 2 squares with tt genotype.

Hence, the genotypic ratio of F1 generation will be

Tt : tt

1 : 1

And phenotypic ratio of F1 generation will be

Tall : Short

1 : 1

ch4aika [34]
  "In the early days of germ theory, contagious diseases were thought to be caused by fungi or bacteria. In the 1890's, Dmitri Ivanovski filtered extracts from diseased tobacco plants and discovered that the disease could be transmitted to new plants through the filtrate. He concluded that the disease was caused by particles smaller than bacteria; the tobacco mosaic virus", is partially correct. Dmitri Ivanovski discovered that filtered extracts from diseased tobacco plants could be transmitted to new plants through the filtrate. However, it was Dutch microbiologist Martinus Beijerinck who, while replicating Ivanovsky's experiments, proved that the filtrate contained a new infectious agent. Beijerinck named this agent a virus.
