Question

Scientists have recently developed a process by which a skin cell from a human can be triggered to develop into a human heart muscle cell. This is possible because                   .
a. most cells in the human body contain the genetic instructions for making all types of human cells;
b. a skin cell is produced when all genes in the cell are expressed; turning off some genes in the cell results in a heart cell;
c. scientists can add new genes to old cells to make them take different forms;
d. a skin cell expresses only recessive alleles, so it can be triggered to produce dominant heart cell alleles;
e. it is easy to mutate the genes in skin cells to produce the alleles required for other cell types

Accepted Answer

Hello everyone here We have a question asking how did the scientists successfully turn skin muscles into beating heart muscles. A manipulating which genes should be expressed and which ones should be silenced. This is a way to successfully turn skin muscles into beating heart muscles. Be exposing the genes into mute regions so the recessive traits are expressed. This would not cause it to turn into beating heart muscles. See manipulating the genes by adding gene fragments. This would not turn it into beating heart muscles or d removing some D. N. A. Sequence. This would not turn it into beating heart muscles. So our answer here is a manipulating which genes should be expressed and which one should be silenced. Thank you for watching. Bye.
