Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Gene therapy is a treatment method in which a healthy, functional gene is introduced into a person having a defective, disease-causing gene, so that the functional gene can compensate for the defective gene.

- If the HIV did not have a reverse transcriptase enzyme, then which of the following would apply? Select one: a. The virus can make use of the reverse transcriptase enzyme from the host cell to convert its RNA into DNA b. Viral particles will be produced without reverse transcriptase enzyme since the original HIV is an RNA virus and needs to assemble RNA ant coat proteins together c. The virus will manufacture its proteins from its RNA using translation and ribosomes from host cell d. Provirus will not be formed and assembly of viral particles will never occur e. The virus will not be able to recognise the host cell and therefore entry into the cell is blockedarrow_forwardWhich of the following best describes the approach that wasused in the first gene therapy trial for treating SCID?a. The normal ADA gene was introduced by injecting liposomesdirectly into the patients’ bodies. b. Lymphocytes were removed from a SCID patient, the normalADA gene was transferred into the lymphocytes vialiposomes,and then the lymphocytes were returned to thepatient’s body.c. Lymphocytes were removed from a SCID patient, the normalADA gene was transferred into the lymphocytes via a retrovirus,and then the lymphocytes were returned to thepatient’s body.d. None of the above describe the approach used in the trial.arrow_forwardImmunofluorescence and GPF tagging are most commonly used to... a. localize proteins within a cell or organism. b. localize mRNA inside a cell or organism. c. deduce the function of specific genes within an organism. d. follow a signal transduction pathway within a cell or organism.arrow_forward
- Viruses like HIV can insert their genome into the host nucleus. This can result in: a. latent infection. ○ b. hyper-immune response. ○ c. mutagenesis due to DNA disruption.arrow_forwardWhen E. coli cells are mixed with recombinant vector DNA and subject to a stress such as heat shock, a small fraction of the cells will take up the plasmid DNA, a process known as : A. Ligation. B. Transformation. C. Transfection. D. Digestion.arrow_forwardRNA viruses require their own supply of certain enzymes because Select one: OA. these enzymes penetrate host cell membranes. O B. these enzymes cannot be made in host cells. С. host cells lack enzymes that can replicate the viral genome. D. these enzymes translate viral mRNA into proteins. E. host cells rapidly destroy the viruses.arrow_forward
- Which of the following is NOT a method by which bacteria can be resistant to antibiotics? Select one: a. Utilise an alternate pathway of gene expression that is not targeted by the antibiotic. b. Alter the binding site of the antibiotic, to either prevent it binding, or remove it from the site. c. Production of enzymes that bind to and break down the specific antibiotic. d. Production of a cell membrane pump that translocates antibiotics outside the cell. A potential side effect of antibiotic use is a secondary bacterial or fungal infection, usually associated with regions like the skin, upper-respiratory tract or genitalia. What is the most likely reason for the formation of these secondary infections? Select one: a. Antibiotics do not work on viruses, so they are able to establish infections in these locations. b. Organisms that are antibiotic resistant are usually more virulent, meaning they can survive and cause infection. c. The antibiotic kills off normal flora, providing an…arrow_forwardWhich nucleic-acid based technique will detect norovirus? A. Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization (FISH) probes B.
