Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option A: Gene therapy
Concept:

Therapeutic correction of genetic defects via genetic material introduction.

Solution:

Gene therapy is a medical technique that treats or prevents disease by inserting a normal, functional copy of a gene directly into a patient's cells to replace or compensate for a mutated, non-functional gene.

Why other options are incorrect:

  • Genetic testing: The analysis of DNA to identify genetic variations or disease-causing mutations without delivering therapeutic genes.


  • Protein engineering: Design and synthesis of novel or modified proteins with specific molecular functions.


  • DNA fingerprinting: Identification technique that analyzes variable short tandem repeats (STRs) in human DNA.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
