How do you fully research houdini splicers in BioShock 2?

You use the research camera in conjunction with any gene tonics that give bonuses to research. Remember to kill the targets in different ways, ie, with different weapons.


What microbes are used with gene therapy in duchenne muscular dystrophy?

Adenoviruses and adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are commonly used in gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). These viruses are used as vectors to deliver the therapeutic gene to muscle cells to replace the mutated gene responsible for DMD. Additionally, lentiviruses have been investigated as potential vectors for gene therapy in DMD.


What is the gene pool of a species?

Genome is the entirety of an organism's hereditary information. It is either encoded in DNA or for many viruses, in RNA.


How can viruses save lives?

What uses viruses to help people with genetic disorders?

Gene therapy is designed to introduce genetic material into cells to compensate for abnormal genes, or to make a beneficial protein. If a mutated gene causes a necessary protein to be faulty or missing, gene therapy may be able to introduce a normal copy of the gene, restoring the function of the protein. Viruses are used in gene therapy as vectors that are genetically engineered to deliver the new copy of the gene by infecting the cell.


What use of viruses to help people with genetic disorders?

Viruses can be used as vectors to deliver therapeutic genes into cells affected by genetic disorders. This is done through a process called gene therapy, where the virus is modified to carry the correct version of the faulty gene and help correct the genetic defect. By doing so, viruses can potentially treat genetic disorders by replacing or repairing the defective gene responsible for the disorder.

Why is a son who receives the allele for combinations from his mother always colorblind?

Since the mother would be considered a carrier, the gene will be produced in the offspring. the son will receive that gene and will be colorblind.
