Enclosing normal hereditary material in a virus and allowing it to move into cells to replace defective hereditary material in the treatment of genetic disorders is a form of?
Enclosing normal hereditary material in a virus and allowing it to move into cells to replace defective hereditary material in the treatment of genetic disorder is a form of gene therapy. A cell in which a virus multiplies itself in a host.
Genetic disorders are caused by?
Genetic Disorders are caused By a change in a person's DNA. Recessive alleles is the most human genetic disorder.
What is a goal of gene therapy?
The main goal of the Genetherapy is to correct the defective genes. There are 4 types of gene therapy .they are1. Somatic Gene therapy and another is 2.Germ line gene therapy 3.Enhancement genetic engineering4. Eugenic genetic engineering.
Is a non mendelian trait controlled by one gene?
A non Mendelian trait can be controlled by one gene. When a trait is controlled by one gene it results in genetic disorders. Examples of disorders due to single gene inheritance - Huntington disease, Fragile-X syndrome.
Inserting working copies of a gene directly into the cells of a person with a genetic disorder is called what?
Gene TherapyGenetic disorders are caused by an abnormality in person's DNA.
Routine treatments for genetic disorders currently involve?
supplying missing enzymes or gene products
Enclosing mornal hereditary material in a virus and allowing it to move into cells to replace defective hereditary material in the treatment of genetic disorders is a form of?
gene therapy, in which defective gene is replaced by correct gene with help of virus which work as vechicle for viruses
What is an application of the human genome project that involves the insertion of normal genes int o cells with defective genes in an attemp to correcy genetic disorders?
Gene Therapy
What is the medical term meaning Condition caused by defective genes?
genetic disorderOne is cancer that is related to a mutation or the deletion of the P53 gene. There are so many genetic disorders that listing them all would be impossible.
What genetic disorder causes a defective gene that makes proteins necessary to pump chloride in and out of cells?

How is genetic therapy used to treat genetic disorders?
Gene therapy is a method that aims to cure inherited diseases by providing the patient with correct copy of the defective gene. There are four potential approaches to gene therapy:1)Addition of normal gene to replace the function of defective gene. This is gene replacement orgene augmentation therapy.2)Replacing the defective gene with the correct gene. This isCorrective gene therapy.3)Establishment of alternative pathways that bypass mutant genes function4)Change in regulation of normal or mutant genesThe first two are the basic approaches in gene therapy
How can the defective gene causing lipidoses be identified?
Genetic testing can be used, in some cases, to identify the defective gene causing lipidoses.
