What are genetic disorders that involve more than one defective gene?

Some examples of genetic disorders involving more than one defective gene are cystic fibrosis, which is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene and other modifier genes; and certain types of neurofibromatosis, which result from mutations in both the NF1 and NF2 genes. These disorders demonstrate the complexity of genetic inheritance and the interactions between multiple genes.


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.


Which of the following may allow scientists to manipulate inherited diseases?

CRISPR technology allows scientists to edit genes and potentially manipulate inherited diseases by altering the DNA sequence. This technology enables targeted changes to specific genes that may be causing genetic disorders. Additionally, gene therapy approaches can introduce healthy genes to replace or correct defective ones in affected individuals.


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.


Are linked genes genes located on the same chromosome?

Without genes, you wouldn't exist! Genes are the body's plan of life. Our cells consult genes on what should be built in your brain.


Why is colorblindness found to be inherited into males more than females?

Most color deficiencies are sex linked, meaning the defective genes are on the sex chromosome. In this case, the X chromosome is affected. Since males only have one X chromosome, all males with this particular defective genes will have this condition. Females have 2 X's, it's unlikely that both X's have bad genes at the same time.
