Using examples, describe how chemical andphysical mutagens cause mutations. c. Briefly describe the significance of transposons in inducing d. Discuss the practical aspects of mutations.
The goal of most gene therapies is to insert a healthy copy of a gene into the genome. Besides CRISPR, techniques for integrating DNA into the genome do not target that DNA to a particular genomic location and thus different cells end up with the DNA sequence in different positions. B. The same gene integrated into different locations in the genome will be expressed differently. Why?
