The science of gene therapy

November 23, 2017

Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things. The command center of each cell is called the nucleus, and it contains chromosomes. Chromosomes are made up of DNA the body’s hereditary material.Typically, every person has 2 copies of each gene one from each parent.A person has about 20,000 genes, and most are the same in all people. However, each person has a small number of genes that are slightly different. These slight differences in genes are why people have different features.
