Question 5.5.?Since the advent of gene therapy for genetic diseases, some (Points : 1) ?general practitioners have been more successful in curing some inherited diseases. ?physicians have disregarded symptom-based treatment in favor of biotechnology. ?Health Management Organizations have funded most of the experimental treatments and genetic research projects. ?clinics have reported positive results doing in vitro gene therapy research. ?new medical techniques for widespread diseases have been perfected. ? Question 6.6.?What is cancer? (Points : 1) ?a potentially fatal bacterial infection ?a disease characterized by rampant cell growth ?a genetic defect expressed in bone or tissue ?a condition in which cell membranes disintegrate ?a disease caused by an injury to the mitochondria ? Question 7.7.?What has affected the preliminary results from some recently initiated gene therapy trials? (Points : 1) ?The laboratories have not had enough time to develop a gene-therapy protocol. ?Congress is hesitant to fund any more experimental programs at the National Institutes of Health. ?Cells into which corrected genes are introduced cannot find and copy these genes to make new proteins. ?There is a voluntary moratorium on gene therapy research because of the fear of introducing a toxic gene into the environment. ?Drug companies are stalling the research projects until they can get assurances about development patents. ? Question 8.8.?What is the difference between in vitro and in vivo gene therapy? (Points : 1) ?In vivo is a computer-designed procedure that has never been tried while in vitro has been in practice for two decades. ?In vivo is a process completed outside the human body and in vitro takes place inside the human body. ?In vitro is a process completed outside the human body and in vivo takes place inside the human body. ?In vitro is a computer-designed procedure that has never been tried while in vivo has been in practice two decades. ?These procedures are the same. ?
