Once a genetic disorder in an adult is treated successfully through gene therapy

Question

Once a genetic disorder in an adult is treated successfully through gene therapy, it is highly unlikely that the person's children will inherit the gene(s) for the disease. Answer True False Vaccines produced by genetically engineered bacteria contain the antigen(s) of the disease-causing organism, not the organism itself. Answer True False . 1 points Question 11 Restriction enzymes are used in genetic engineering to cut DNA between specific base pairs in a DNA strand, resulting in DNA segments that are then used for further study and analysis. Answer True False . 1 points Question 12 Plasmids are useful to scientists involved in recombinant DNA technology because foreign genes can be inserted into the plasmids and then the plasmids can be inserted back into bacteria. Answer True False

Explanation / Answer

Once a genetic disorder in an adult is treated successfully through gene therapy, it is highly unlikely that the person's children will inherit the gene(s) for the disease.

False

gene therapy------it is somatic thearapy-so it is not inherited-hence-offspring will be affected

Vaccines produced by genetically engineered bacteria contain the antigen(s) of the disease-causing organism, not the organism itself.

False

Restriction enzymes are used in genetic engineering to cut DNA between specific base pairs in a DNA strand, resulting in DNA segments that are then used for further study and analysis.

True

12 Plasmids are useful to scientists involved in recombinant DNA technology because foreign genes can be inserted into the plasmids and then the plasmids can be inserted back into bacteria.
