The process by which a gene is read is through transcription and occurs through the activity of an enzyme called RNA polymerase II in the nucleus. This results in the formation of molecule called messenger RNA (mRNA). mRNA is then translated into a string of amino acids or protein by transfer RNA (tRNA) on ribosomes outside the nucleus in the cytoplasm.

What must happen inside the cell for gene therapy treatment to be successful?

n the simplest forms of gene therapy, the DNA must be integrated into the genome of the cell (it must become part of the regular DNA that is in the cell) so that it is replicated when the cell divides and passed on to all the daughter cells. In addition, it has to integrate into a part of the DNA so that it can be expressed so that it can make the missing protein. There are other forms of gene therapy for particular diseases where temporary expression therapeutic gene is all that is needed. For example, to make a tumor susceptible to certain drugs to cure the patient. In this case, integration is not needed and the DNA needs only to get into the nucleus so the gene can be expressed.


Why does a person with only one copy of a defective gene often not get the disorder associated with the gene?

A person with only one copy of a defective gene often does not develop the associated disorder due to the presence of a normal copy of the gene, which can provide sufficient functional protein or activity to maintain normal physiological processes. This phenomenon is known as "haplosufficiency," where one functional allele compensates for the defective one. Additionally, many genetic disorders are recessive, meaning that both copies of the gene must be defective for the disorder to manifest.
