A scientist wants to examine a genetic disease in humans. The scientist hypothesizes that the disease can be treated by using ge
ne therapy. Humans take a long time to reproduce and develop, so the scientist will have to give up on testing the hypothesis.
test the hypothesis for a very long time.
develop new methods to test the hypothesis.
find a way to make humans reproduce faster.
The correct answer is - develop new methods to test the hypothesis.
Explanation:
Human produce offsprings long time and development also take a long time in general and then to test a hypothesis, regarding the gene therapy helps to treat a disease, would take even more time.
So testing this hypothesis required developing a new method as other options are not possible. You can not change the time it takes in reproduction. Giving up is not the option in science.
Because of recombination and independent assortment in meiosis, each gamete contains a different set of DNA. This produces a unique combination of genes in the resulting zygote. Recombination or crossing over occurs during prophase
