Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option B: Gene therapy
Concept:

Therapeutic introduction of functional genetic sequences.

Solution:

Gene therapy is the direct therapeutic delivery of nucleic acid polymers into a patient's cells to correct functional deficits caused by genetic mutations.

Why other options are incorrect:

  • Genetic testing: Molecular diagnosis aimed at detecting disease-causing mutations without genetic intervention.


  • Protein engineering: Chemical or biological synthesis of tailored proteins with specific structural functions.


  • DNA fingerprinting: Forensic analysis used to identify individuals based on unique restriction fragment patterns.

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.
