D) II, III, V, I, IV
E) II, III, IV, V, I

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence for genetic therapy involves first reprogramming cells into a pluripotent state (II), then removing the reprogramming factors (III), followed by correcting the genetic defect via CRISPR-Cas9 (V), differentiating the corrected cells into the desired cell type (I), and finally transplanting these cells back into the patient (IV).
