Which of the following is one of the technical reasons why gene therapy is problematic?
| 1. | Most cells with an engineered gene do not produce gene products. |
| 2. | Most cells with engineered genes overwhelm other cells in a tissue. |
| 3. | Cells with transferred genes are unlikely to replicate. |
| 4. | Transferred genes may not have appropriately controlled activity. |
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

1. Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion
2. Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
3. Assertion is true but reason is false
4. Both assertion and reason are false
