Consider the two statements:
| I: | Diseases such as sickle cell disease that are caused by autosomal recessive disorders may be a good candidate for gene therapy treatment. |
| II: | For such disorders, a person's normal phenotype or cell function may be restored in cells that have the disease by a normal copy of the gene that is mutated. |
| 1. | Both I and II are correct and II explains I |
| 2. | Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I |
| 3. | I is correct but II is incorrect |
| 4. | Both I and II are incorrect |

The main challenge for production of insulin using rDNA techniques was:
1. getting insulin assembled into a mature form.
2. isolating DNA in pure form from human cell
3. selecting the vector for cloning the gene
4. purification of the human insulin
