Let’s Check
Activity 10. Now, you know the most essentials and concepts of nanotechnology and
gene therapy. Let’s try to check your understanding of these concepts. On the space
provided write your answer/s on what is being asked in the following statements:
SEX CHROMOSOMES 1. It signifies the 23rd chromosomes of a human cell.
GENE THERAPY 2. A technique for treatment that uses healthy DNA to replace
Mutated DNA.
GENE THERAPY 3. It’s an area of nanotechnology that focuses on the making of drugs
and treating diseases.
AGRICULTURE AND FOOD 4. An area of nanotechnology that concentrates on the

innovations for food and agriculture
STEM CELL THERAPY 5. It is a regenerative medicine that promotes repair response

of diseased, dysfunctional tissues.
EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS 6. It is derived from the inner mass of a cell of embryo
that can develop many types of cell.
GENE THERAPY 7. It is used to carry healthy DNA to replace the

mutated DNA of a cell.
DOCTOR-LAWYER SAMUEL BERNAL 8. A doctor-lawyer that said stem cell

treatment is not a “cure to all” but allowing the body to heal itself.
DNA 9. It contains the genetic code.
NANOTECHNOLOGY 10. It manipulates matter particularly the subatomic particles to

provide human needs.
Let’s Analyze
Activity 10. You’re already acquainted with the essential concepts of nanotechnology
and gene therapy is not enough, it also matters that you should be able to explain its
relevance. Now, you are required to explain thoroughly your answer.
1. How can nanotechnology address problems in the environment?
Nanotechnology is an incredible discovery for distinguishing and relieving

infections through treatments at a nuclear or sub-nuclear level. With this we
can wreck minute life forms that are causing the infections. We can likewise
utilize this to find more in the genuine of quantum material science.
2. How can nanotechnology be used in the prevention and treatment of illness?

- Nanotechnology can help in diagnostics and imaging to drug delivery,
monitoring, therapies, and disease prevention. It also focuses specifically on
the synthesis of nanomaterials and their potential health risks (particularly
toxicity)
3. Stem cell treatment has been a subject of debates since the 21st century. What do
you think about the current developments in stem cell treatment?
- I think the stem cell treatment actually needs a couple of time for making sure
about its wellbeing and adequacy until it is approvable to all. It ought to be
kept in effectiveness to be acknowledged to the general public, however it
truly is an astonishing discovery.
4. What do you think are the most relevant concerns in the country or even the world
that needs nanotechnology? Why?
- I think nanotechnology will be more useful in the field of medicine,
nanotechnology in medicine, draws on the natural scale of biological
phenomena to produce precise solutions for disease prevention, diagnosis,
and treatment.
5. What health condition do you think urgently needs to be treated by gene therapy?
Justify your answer.
- Probably Cancer, Cancer is caused by changes (mutations) to the DNA within
cells. The DNA inside a cell is packaged into a large number of individual
genes, each of which contains a set of instructions telling the cell what
functions to perform, as well as how to grow and divide. Errors in the
instructions can cause the cell to stop its normal function and may allow a cell
to become cancerous. That’s why we need to replace the cancer sells to
avoid further damage in the body.
-
In a Nutshell
Activity 10. The study of nanotechnology and gene therapy is in timing to what it brings
in the scientific development for the benefit of the societies’ conditions. Now is your time
to express your arguments or lessons learned about this unit. Write your ideas briefly on
the space provided below:
1. The use of nanotechnology in cancer treatments offer some exciting

possibilities, including the possibility of destroying cancer tumors with minimal
damage to healthy tissue and organs, as well as the detection and elimination
of cancer cells before they form tumors. Most efforts to improve cancer
treatment through nanotechnology are at the research or development stage.
However, the effort to make these treatments a reality is highly focused.
2. Gene therapy and stem cell treatment is our hope to fix ailments that we are
battling for quite a long time like disease. We have to secure the movement to
quickly have these medicines applied to protect wellbeing. These advances to
have the option to conquer different infections, uncommon or normal, to
advance human prosperity.
3. Nanotechnology is already broadening the medical tools, knowledge, and

therapies currently available to clinicians. Nanomedicine, the application of
nanotechnology in medicine, draws on the natural scale of biological
phenomena to produce precise solutions for disease prevention, diagnosis,
and treatment.
