Gene therapy is being currently developed in labs across the world‚ with the goal of eventually being able to alter a person’s genetic make up effectively and consistently. If the subject has a missing or defective gene‚ scientists are able to inactivate the mutated gene and transplant a normal healthy one.

Specifically‚ the gene doping describes as an outgrowth of gene therapy because the processes are same as injecting DNA into the body. Gene therapy is meant to be restoring the function related to damaged gene but gene doping is purpose of enhancement of athletes. One type of the gene doping increases the hemoglobin‚ which produces more oxygen and provides better performance. The World Anti-Doping Agency

2 Single Gene Inheritance WORKING WITH THE FIGURES (The first 14 questions require inspection of text figures.) 1. In the left-hand part of Figure 2-4‚ the red arrows show selfing as pollination within single flowers of one F1 plant. Would the same F2 results be produced by cross-pollinating two different F1 plants? Answer: No‚ the results would be different. While self pollination produces 3 : 1 ratio of yellow versus gene phenotype‚ cross pollination would result in 1 : 1 ratio‚ in
