Gene Therapy
Number of words: 3603 - Number of pages: 14.... gene. Possession of a normal gene leads to the continuous, regular production of ADA in cells throughout the body. Without at least one properly functioning gene, children have no way of converting deoxyadenosine (a waste product) into inosine. This leads to the rapid build-up of deoxyadenosine in the system, which becomes phosphorlyzed into a toxic triphosphate, which kills T-cells. The result is an almost complete failure of the immune system and early death.
Previous treatment options included bone marrow transplants, which worked well with matched donors. .....

How Does Light Affect The Rate Of Photosynthesis?
Number of words: 1845 - Number of pages: 7.... experiment and what would happen in the experiment. In the preliminary experiment we didn’t use the safeguards so it wasn’t fair experiment. We did this because it gave us the idea what problems we might face when we did the main experiment and gave us the idea how to do it.
The pondweed should create photosynthesis by the following equation: -
6CO2 + 6H2O 6C6H12O6+ 6O2
Photosynthesis occurs when plants take in Carbon Dioxide from the surrounding air in its leaves and water from the nearby soil in its roots. The leaves then take light en .....

Number of words: 801 - Number of pages: 3.... diseas refers to those syndromes caused by blockage to the flow of blood in those arteries supplying the heart muscle itself, i.e., the coronary arteries.
