What is Harris's attitude toward gene therapy?
Prior to gene therapy with the agile allele (A), a male rat was homozygous (aa) for the autosomal recessive trait, awkwardness. Following the completion of the gene therapy, this same rat was test- crossed with a female rat of the appropriate genotype. What genotype should the female rat have in order for her to be used in a testcross? The offspring produced in the testcross were as follows: Assuming that the lest cross was performed correctly, what type of gene...
