Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Gene therapy is when:
A
A person’s genes are edited
B
New genes are added to a person’s genome
C
Bacterial DNA is incorporated into the human genome
D
Stem cells are used to cure a disease
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Gene therapy is a technique that modifies a person’s genes to treat or cure disease. Gene therapies can work by several mechanisms: Replacing a disease-causing gene with a healthy copy of the gene. Inactivating a disease-causing gene that is not functioning properly.

Detailed explanation-2: -Simply put, gene editing is a type of gene therapy. They both target the cause of disease, such as a variant or mutation in a gene, by using genetic material to treat or prevent disease.

Detailed explanation-3: -Genome editing (also called gene editing) is a group of technologies that give scientists the ability to change an organism’s DNA. These technologies allow genetic material to be added, removed, or altered at particular locations in the genome. Several approaches to genome editing have been developed.

Detailed explanation-4: -Gene therapy is a technique used in an effort to treat or prevent disease. When a gene mutation (a permanent alteration in the DNA sequence) causes a protein to be missing or faulty, gene therapy may be able to restore the normal function of that protein.

Detailed explanation-5: -Genome editing, also called gene editing, is an area of research seeking to modify genes of living organisms to improve our understanding of gene function and develop ways to use it to treat genetic or acquired diseases.
