Question
Chapter CHST6, Problem 3RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
Whether or not the therapeutic gene should always become a part of the chromosome when inserted into a cell during gene therapy.
Introduction:
The gene therapy is a therapeutic technique used to treat a genetic disorder. The normal gene which is designed in the laboratories is transferred to the cells of the patient. The normal gene will be transcribed producing normal products. This way the normal
