What is functional complementation?

Functional complementation is a genetic technique used to identify a gene by introducing a mutant organism with a defective gene to see if another organism with a functional copy of that gene can rescue the mutant phenotype. If the introduced gene can restore the normal function, it indicates that the gene is responsible for the observed phenotype in the mutant organism.

What process involves using primer and Taq in detemining whether a person has a certain mutant gene?

The process you are referring to is polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In this process, DNA sample is combined with specific primers targeting the mutant gene sequence, then Taq polymerase is used to amplify the DNA region of interest. The presence of amplified DNA indicates the presence of the mutant gene in the sample.


How is genetic therapy used to treat genetic disorders?

Gene therapy is a method that aims to cure inherited diseases by providing the patient with correct copy of the defective gene. There are four potential approaches to gene therapy:1)Addition of normal gene to replace the function of defective gene. This is gene replacement orgene augmentation therapy.2)Replacing the defective gene with the correct gene. This isCorrective gene therapy.3)Establishment of alternative pathways that bypass mutant genes function4)Change in regulation of normal or mutant genesThe first two are the basic approaches in gene therapy
