A plasmid containing complete gene copied from human genome is introduced in a bacterial cell, but the bacteria is unable to make a working copy of the protein because
It cannot recognize the start codon in mRNA
Of the absence of similar amino acids in bacteria
Of the absence of similar splicing machinery
The foreign gene cannot replicate in bacteria
What might be an advantage of beginning gene therapy prior to birth?
This would give the body plenty of time
The body would not reject it as it has not yet recognised ‘self’
The cells being extremely young are more receptive of gene therapy
There probably is not any advantage
