Continuation of Lesson 2

Question 1

is defined asthe smallest, basic unit of life that is responsible for all of life’s processes.”

Answer 1

Cell

Question 2

the structure in a cell that contains the chromosomes.

Answer 2

Nucleus

Question 3

threadlike structures made of protein and a single molecule of DNA that serve to carry the genomic information from cell to cell.

Answer 3

Chromosome

Question 4

is the molecule that carries genetic information for the development and functioning of an organism.

Answer 4

DNA

Question 5

are made up of sequences of DNA and are arranged, one after another, at specific locations on chromosomes in the nucleus of cells.

Answer 5

Gene

Question 6

When was the first approved gene therapy case at the National Institute of Health, UK.

Answer 6

1990

Question 7

Who was the four year girl that has been treated for a genetic defect that left her with an immune system deficiency.

Answer 7

Ashanti DaSilva

Question 8

What are the Common Genetic Disorder:

Answer 8

Sickle cell
Patau syndrome
Down Syndrome

Question 9

is a genetic disorder that affects red blood cells. People with this disease produce abnormal red blood cells that are shaped like crescents or sickles, rather than the usual round shape.

Answer 9

Sickle cell

Question 10

also known as trisomy 13, is a rare genetic condition caused by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 13. This extra chromosome can disrupt the normal development of various organs and tissues in the body.

Answer 10

Patau syndrome

Question 11

is a genetic condition caused by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21. This extra chromosome can disrupt the normal development of various parts of the body.

Answer 11

Down syndrome

Question 12

of mutated gene that causes disease with a healthy copy if the gene.

Answer 12

Replacement

Question 13

of a mutated gene that is functioning improperly.

Answer 13

Inactivation

Question 14

a new gene into the body to help fight a disease.

Answer 14

Introducing

Question 15

What are the basic process of DNA

Answer 15

Replacement
Inactivation
Introducing

Question 16

A type of experimental treatment in which foreign genetic material ( DNA or RNA) is inserted into a person’s cells to prevent or fight disease. It is being studied in the treatment of certain types of cancer or diseases. It involves altering genes inside your body’s cells in an effort to treat or stop a disease.

Answer 16

Gene therapy

Question 17

Obtaining blood cells with a genetic disease then introduce a normal gene into the defective cell Has to be done several times because the effects does not last long, can’t pass to the next generation.

Answer 17

Somatic Gene therapy

Question 18

Involves genetic modification of the gametes (reproductive cells, the egg cells and the sperm cells) that will pass to the next generation Can be done once because it is permanent.

Answer 18

Germline Gene Therapy

Question 19

vehicles that delivers the gene to the cells

Answer 19

Vectors

Question 20

have the natural ability to deliver genetic materials into cells.

Answer 20

Viruses

Question 21

inserts its genetic code directly into the chromosomes of the host cell

Answer 21

Retrovirus

Question 22

introduce the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) they carry to the nucleus but not into the chromosomes

Answer 22

Adenovirus

Question 23

outside the living, cells are modified outside the body and then transplanted back again.

Answer 23

Ex Vivo

Question 24

inside the living, vector can be injected or given intravenously (IV) directly to the specific tissue in the body

Answer 24

In Vivo

Question 25

are the mother cells that have the potential to become any type of cell in the body. They have the ability to self-renew or multiply.

Answer 25

Stem Cell

Question 26

cells that are self-replicating, derived from human embryos or human petal tissue and able to differentiate into 3 primary germ cell layers, and into any type of cell in the body

Answer 26

Embryonic Cells

Question 27

Any cell of the body except sex cells. Can differentiate only into different cell types present in the tissue of their origin

Answer 27

Somantic Cells

Question 28

What is the inside of Cells

Answer 28

Nucleus

Question 29

What is the inside of Nucleus

Answer 29

Chromosome

Question 30

What is the inside of Chromosome

Answer 30

DNA

Question 31

What is the inside of DNA

Answer 31

Gene (Segment of DNA)
