Assertion (A): | Correction of a gene defect by gene therapy involves delivery of a normal copy of gene into the individual or embryo. |
Reason (R): | The normal copy of gene delivered takes over the function of and compensates for the non-functional gene. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
2. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not explain (A). |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) explains (A). |

I: | Transgenic animals can be specifically designed to allow study of how genes are regulated, and how they affect the normal functions of the body and its development. |
II: | Transgenic animals cannot be used to serve as models for humans diseases so that investigation of new treatments for diseases is made possible. |
III: | Transgenic animals can be specifically designed to allow study of complex factors involved in growth such as insulin like growth factor. |
