Each year, hundreds of millions of people get sick from diseases like Zika, Dengue Fever, and Yellow Fever that are spread by mosquitoes. Some scientists are investigating the possibility of curbing these mosquito-borne diseases by genetically modifying the mosquitoes, such that they become less able to either reproduce or to carry the disease-causing microbes. Should genetically modified mosquitoes be released into the environment to combat these viruses?
Gene therapy aims to replace faulty or disease-causing genes with healthy DNA sequences. How might you use a virus to deliver these new genes into a cell?
A virus is a submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism. It does this by inserting its genetic material (RNA) into the host cell and integrate its genetic material with the host genome. Explain in details how organisms eliminate the expression of viral genes? How this mechanism can prevent virus infections?

- How do you think can genetic engineering help in making vaccines for diseases such as COVID-19?arrow_forwardWhy not just inject the double-stranded cDNA that codes for the spike protein of the virus? What additional step or steps would you need to use to get the human muscle cells to produce the spike protein if the cDNA was injected to serve as the virus? The new Covid19 vaccine produced by two companies (Pfizer, Moderna) uses mRNA coding for part of the spike protein of the virus. The virus uses the spike protein to invade human cells where it replicates. Is it surprising that the mRNA must be stabilized with chemicals that need ultra-cold or frozen storage to protect the mRNA from degradation before it causes human muscle cells to make the spike protein?arrow_forwardDescribe how it is possible for a non-cancer-causing virus to infect a cell, but then all progeny viruses released from that cell (and the descendants of those progeny viruses) all are cancer-causing viruses.arrow_forward

What do you know about how RNA polymerase (such as the primase) replicates nucleotide sequences compared to how DNA polymerases copy DNA that might help explain this difference?arrow_forward
