Question

Why would gene therapy fail to cure illnesses caused by bacteria

Answer 1

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

Some illnesses and harmful infections are caused by bacteria. These bacteria grow in the human body and often make people sick with symptoms like coughing, sneezing, and fever. These illnesses are not related to any genetic mutations or other problems with DNA.

Answer 2

Gene therapy is only effective against genetic disorders such as autoimmune diseases or some cancers. Bacteria are pathogens that independently attack and infect the body, modifying the genes of the host will not be effective in an immune response. Bacteria must be destroyed via a natural immune response or antibiotics.
