REFLECTION
Direction: Explain in your own words the following:

A.

1. Gene Therapy

 Gene therapy is an experimental technique that uses genes to treat or prevent

disease. In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by
inserting a gene into a patient’s cells instead of using drugs or surgery. Gene
therapy involves altering the genes inside your body's cells in an effort to
treat or stop disease. Based on the researches gene therapy is a promising
treatment option for a number of diseases including inherited disorders,
some types of cancer, and certain viral infections, the technique remains
risky and is still under study to make sure that it will be safe and effective

2. The New Diagnostics

 It is the discovery of an illness, condition, or injury for the first time through
research, analysis, or tests for signs and symptoms. Just like for example
when you go to the doctor and explain your symptoms and difficulties, as
well as inquire what is wrong with you, the doctor will listen to you,
examine you, run tests, and then tell you what he considers is happening
with you. Diagnosis is the doctor’s name for your health problem, like
pneumonia, appendicitis, depression and so on. That is diagnostic.

3. The DNA Code

 It includes instructions for creating a living creature. DNA Code is with

every organism that requires a set of coded instructions for specifying its
traits and to specify its characteristics, every creature requires a set of coded
instructions and information must be reliably passed from one generation to
the next generation in order for kids to look like their parents.

B.1. Come up with a secret message through the use of your own CODE so your
classmates will not know what it means.

 “LLL or 3L’s”

2. Write your coded message in the box.

CODE: “LLL or 3L’s”

3. Explain what your message is.

My coded message is the “LLL or 3L’s” which means “LOVE

the LIFE you LIVE” it is for everyone who will see or read my
coded message that not only will cherishing moments as they
happen will make you feel grateful for life, but it will also help
you have a more positive and happy perspective. You don't want to
look back on your life and regret all the things you didn't try or
acknowledge. Be grateful for what you already have, this is so
important. If you can't be happy with what you have, no matter
what comes your way you will never be.
