1. A transgenic organism can be an organism that contains human genes to make human proteins which can be extracted for drug use for patients.
2. Gene therapy is a technique that involves;
3. Many gene therapy vectors under current use are disarmed viruses.
4. Recombinant DNA technology has been used to make insulin. Insulin operates by;
5. Liposomes can also be used as vectors for gene therapy. They are;
6. Which of the following is true about EPO?

18. cDNA is DNA that is complementary to the opposite strand of DNA from a double helix.
19. DNA analysis and genetic testing can be done after death.
20. Gene therapy can involve the insertion of a gene into a patient to correct a defective gene.
21. Microarrays are used by DNA sequencing companies like 23 and Me to provide the customer with information about a predetermined set of genes or DNA sequences that they may possess because they bind to corresponding genes on the microarray.
