... List areas of science that have raised ethical or moral issues (P5.3a) How it works and why it works Gene therapy When genes are changed, proteins are unable to carry out normal function, this results into genetic disorders. This technique (gene therapy) is for correction defective gene responsible for genetic disorders. Researchers use several of ways to correct defective genes:> Normal genes is interested into non specific location within the genome to correct defective genes> Though homologous recombination normal genes could be swapped with defective genes> Defective genes could be repaired through reverse mutation to normality> Regulation of a specific gene( lac operon) could be altered to return to normality GM organisms/foods Gm is a set of techniques used to modify the genetic makeup of organisms such as animals and plants. It is mostly used to modify crops to yield more harvest and plants are altered to grow on fields were there
