The correct responses regarding gene therapy are:
- Restores function of protein and cell
- Corrects underlying cause of disease
Gene therapy aims to treat or prevent diseases by addressing the underlying genetic issues, potentially restoring normal protein function and helping cells to function properly. The statement "Gene therapy does not have a purpose" is incorrect, as gene therapy has specific therapeutic aims, and "Allows cell to produce abnormal protein" is also incorrect, as the goal is typically to enable proper protein production rather than inducing abnormal proteins.
