1. Which of the following is not a difficulty that medicine has encountered in its attempts to cure human diseases through gene therapy? It is difficult to get the working gene into enough cells at the right rate to have a physiological effect. For many diseases, a malfunctioning gene has not been identified. It is difficult to get the working gene into the specific cells where it is needed. All of the above are difficulties encountered in attempts to cure human diseases through gene therapy. The transfer organism-usually a virus-may get into unintended cells and cause disease.

Then cloned the DNA in E. coli, sequenced all of the cloned fragments and then attempted to reconstruct the genomes of the different individuals in the population. This approach is an example of what? -Transcriptomics -Genomics -Metatranscriptomics -Metagenomics -Proteomics
1.Discuss how PCR may be used for the detection of disease-causing pathogens in a population during the COVID Pandemic. For example: it may be used to check if a patient has a COVID virus infection. 2. Discuss how the cloning and expression of certain genes allows for massive production of the desired product. For Example: the cloning and expression of insulin in bacteria allows for the mass production of this necessary protein for use by diabetic patients.
