The process of replacing a defective gene with a healthy gene is called gene therapy. Gene therapy is done by cutting genes from the DNA of healthy cells and inserting them into the DNA of defective cells and tissues.

Currently the most common vector is a virus that has been genetically altered to carry normal human Dna. Viruses have evolved a way of encapsulating and delivering their genes to human Cells in a potentially pathogenic manner. Scientists have tried to take advantage of this capability by manipulating the virus genome to remove disease-causing genes and insert therapeutic genes.

Genetic engineering refers to the process of?
Genetic engineering is a lab technique used by scientists to change DNA of living organisms. It involves taking DNA from one organism and putting it into an unrelated organism (bacteria gene into corn, for example) in order to produce a desired trait.

No.
Why the bacteria and viruses are main objects in the genetic?
Bacteria and Viruses are the main objects of study in the field of genetics for two reasons: bacteria are chosen because of their simplicity. Viruses are an interesting area of study because they survive by placing their own genetics into other organisms. This gives rise to the possibility of transplanting foreign and possibly beneficial DNA and RNA into hosts that previously did not have those helpful genes.

Why don't doctors treat people with eating disorders by placing electrodes in their brains?
Eating disorders are not caused by physical deformities or problems in the brain. Instead, they are more like fears and delusions. Therapies that work for eating disorders are meant to try and help the affected patient or individual learn to have a healthy relaionship with food again and to be healthy.

Get Creative with Healthy Recipes for Kids?
It is a common myth that for a meal to be healthy it must look like a traditional meal. When it comes to creating healthy recipes for kids, believing this myth can cause trouble. Thinking outside the box and getting creative is a great way to get kids to eat healthy. Sometimes healthy recipes for kids that more closely resemble snacks can be even more healthy than traditional meals. This is because the only way a healthy meal is really healthy is if it is actually eaten. Children are much more prone to eat snack type foods than entire meals. One idea is to include placing lean lunch meat, crackers or pretzels, cheese and fruit on a plate and serving for lunch. Another is to serve chunks of meat and cheese with raw vegetables and dressing for dipping. It does not have to be hard, it just has to be healthy, and it has to get eaten.
