Question

Imagine this scenario in the not too distant future. You know your own genome, and it reveals that you have a genetic recessive gene for a deadly genetic disease (you are a 'carrier' but do not have the disease) and your spouse has the same knowledge with the same diagnosis. It might be possible based on what biotechnology approach to correct the problem caused by the disease?

Answer 1

Gene therapy coupled with cloning technology can be performed to correct the problem caused by the disease.

Step-by-step explanation:

The gene therapy is performed to treat or prevent disease using the genes. Generally drugs are surgery is preferred to treat the disease, but in this case the genes are inserted into the patient’s cell for the treatment.

This therapy treats and cures the deadly genetic disease. The genomes can be cloned to treat the deadly genetic disease effectively.
