difference between gene therapy and gene cloning.
Answers
Answer & explanation
Gene therapy is a method in which genetic diseases are treated through gentic method in which a normal gene is introduced into the body in the place of missing or defective genes to cure the diseases.
Gene cloning is a method in which a gene of interest is isolated from the DNA and copied again and again. This method is used in getting an organism with a desired trait.
Answer:
Gene therapy :The process of replacing defective gene responsible for hereditary disease by the normal gene is called gene therapy. Genetic modification is where scientists pick out a specific set of genes and place these genes in an organism where the traits would be helpful. e.g: SCID is treated through gene therapy
Gene Cloning : The technique to produce identical copies of a particular segment of DNA or a gene. Cloned genes can only be copied in the same species. e.g: creating clones of the human gene for insulin
