can someone help me with these questions?
#175) Would an exogenous gene introduced into somatic cells be passed from parent to offspring?
i put answer C (No, because changes to somatic cells are not passed to offspring). Correct answer is A (Yes, because the DNA will be localized into the cell's nuclei)
I thought only germ cells are passed to offspring. somatic cells don't go through meiosis, right?
#176) Target gene therapy to specific cells important because:
I put A (all cells contain , but do not express, the same genes) the correct answer is C (different cells contain different genes)
don't all cells have same dna thus same genes? it's the way genes are expressed that diff the cells right?
