The correct order of events to show how Gene Therapy works within your body is as follows:

  1. In the laboratory, a virus is altered so that it cannot reproduce.
  2. A gene is inserted into the virus.
  3. The altered virus is mixed with cells from the patient.
  4. The cells from the patient become genetically altered.
  5. Cells are removed from the patient.
  6. The altered cells are injected into the patient.
  7. The genetically altered cells produce the desired proteins or hormones.

Explanation:

  1. In the laboratory, a virus is altered so that it cannot reproduce: This step ensures that the virus used as a vector for gene therapy is safe and cannot cause disease by replicating uncontrollably.

  2. A gene is inserted into the virus: The therapeutic gene that is intended to correct the genetic disorder is inserted into the virus.

  3. The altered virus is mixed with cells from the patient: The virus carrying the therapeutic gene is then introduced to the patient's cells.

  4. The cells from the patient become genetically altered: The virus infects the patient's cells, and the therapeutic gene is incorporated into the cells' DNA.

  5. Cells are removed from the patient: This step involves taking cells from the patient that will be genetically modified.

  6. The altered cells are injected into the patient: The genetically modified cells are then reintroduced into the patient's body.

  7. The genetically altered cells produce the desired proteins or hormones: Finally, the modified cells start producing the necessary proteins or hormones to treat the genetic disorder.

This sequence ensures that the gene therapy process is carried out effectively and safely.
