Question

question 6
which of the following is an example of gene therapy?
a person goes to the doctors office to get a vaccine to help protect a
a person with a muscle injury goes to the doctors office a few times a to work.
a person with ada (adenosine deaminase deficiency) deficiency has the working copy of the ada gene. the copy of the ada gene starts producin
a person with strep throat goes to the doctor and gets prescribed antibio
question 7
how does gene therapy work?
viruses and bacteria are recombined together
enzymes are used to cut various parts of dna in order to add new dna

Explanation:

For Question 6:

Gene therapy involves introducing a functional copy of a defective gene to treat a genetic disorder. ADA deficiency is a classic target for gene therapy, where a working ADA gene is delivered to the patient's cells to produce the missing enzyme. Vaccines, muscle injury treatments, and antibiotics do not involve modifying or introducing therapeutic genes, so they are not gene therapy.

For Question 7:

Gene therapy typically uses enzymes (like restriction endonucleases) to cut DNA, allowing a functional gene to be inserted into the patient's genome. Recombining viruses and bacteria is not the core mechanism of gene therapy; viruses are often used as vectors to deliver the therapeutic gene, but the key step is modifying the patient's DNA by cutting and inserting the new gene sequence.

Answer:

Question 6: A person with ADA (Adenosine deaminase deficiency) deficiency has the working copy of the ADA gene. The copy of the ADA gene starts producing [functional ADA protein]
Question 7: Enzymes are used to cut various parts of DNA in order to add new DNA
