What is the main advantage of using viruses as vectors in gene therapy?
They can easily enter cells and deliver genetic material.
They can be used repeatedly without side effects
They are cheap and easy to produce
They are not recognized by the immune system
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic/property of stem cells?
Stem cell have a potential to give to specialized cells that together make up different tissue types
Stem cells are capable of dividing and renewing themselves for long periods of time
All stem cells are present as a mass of cells that differentiate later during their period of division
Stem cells cannot regenerate after dividing.
Which of the following statements describes the difference between stem cell therapy and traditional drug therapies?
Stem cell therapy involves injecting cells directly into the affected area while traditional drug therapies are administered orally or intravenously.
Stem cell therapy involves minimum ethical issues but is much more expensive than traditional drug therapies.
Stem cell therapy can only manage symptoms while traditional drug therapies have the potential to repair and regenerate damaged tissue.
Stem cell therapy uses chemicals to treat symptoms while traditional drug therapies use drugs to regenerate tissues.
Which of the following actions can patients take to ensure they are receiving safe and effective stem cell therapy, particularly in light of the controversies associated with stem cell therapies?
Researching about the credentials of the treating physician and the facility.
Verifying that the stem cells used in the therapy are ethically sourced.
Checking if the process of the therapy is FDA – approved
All of the choices
Which of the following is not one of the mentioned importance of stem cells?
Stem cells can replace disease or damaged cells
Stem cells can be used to test different substances (drugs and chemicals)
Stem cells allow doctors to treat a disorder by altering the gene makeup
Stem cells allow us to study development and genetics
Which of the following best describes the biggest challenge in gene therapy?
Developing efficient and safe delivery methods
Ensuring that the modified genes do not cause unintended harmful effects
Finding enough healthy donor genes for transplantation
Preventing ethical concerns related to genetically modified organisms
Which of the following is NOT a potential application of gene therapy?
Treating cancer
Treating genetic disorder
Enhancing athletic performance
Treating infectious diseases
How does retrovirus deliver genes to cells?
By using bacterial plasmid to transport the gene.
By delivering the gene in a lipid nanoparticle.
By attaching to the cell's surface and injecting the gene
By integrating the gene into the cell's DNA.
What is the most common method of gene delivery in gene therapy?
Oral medications
Injection of genetically modified viruses
Inhalation of gene therapy products
Intravenous infusion

Death
Cancer
Infection
Immune reactions
It is a worm in stem cell research.
Tapeworm
Planarians
Flatworm
Earthworm
How is stem cell therapy different from traditional drug therapies?
The risk of immune rejection, thus causing more complications and side effects.
The destruction of human blastocysts, thus a fertilized egg cannot develop into a human being.
The potential for tumor formation, thus could introduce another disease.
All of the choices
To ensure the safety and efficacy of gene therapy, multiple measures must be taken. How can medical professionals ensure the safety and efficacy of gene therapy?
Medical professionals must conduct several preclinical studies to assess the safety and efficacy of gene therapies. Preclinical studies are essential for evaluating the safety and efficacy of gene therapies before they are tested in humans.
Medical professionals must monitor patients closely during and after gene therapy treatments to ensure that any adverse effects are identified and addressed promptly
Medical professionals must develop new regulatory frameworks for gene therapy to ensure its safety and efficacy. Regulatory
All of the choices
Which agency regulates the application of stem cell therapy and other related services?
Food and Drug Administration
National Food Authority
Department of Health
Department of Trade and Industry
The following are controversies related to stem- cell therapy EXCEPT:
Mixing humans and animals
Christianity-related issues
Use of embryos for stem cell
Multigene Disorder
