Mitochondrial replacement therapy (MRT) offers a potential solution for women with mtDNA-based diseases to have healthy children. Based on what you know about the importance of nuclear gene products to mitochondrial functions, will MRT ensure that children will not inherit or develop a mtDNA-based diseases?

Video transcript

Everyone. Let's take a look at this question together, mitochondrial replacement therapy or M. R. T, for short, is the process of replacing the mutated mitochondria with a normal nucleus. M. R. T. Is also known as what? So we know that M. R. T. As multiple and various steps involved in replacing the mutated mitochondria with the normal nucleus. And so another name for M. R. T. Because of that process is mitochondrial donation as well as nuclear. Do you know, transfer. And lastly it is also known as three parent in vitro fertilization. And so looking at our answer choices, we can see that we have mitochondrial donation. We have nuclear genome transfer as well as three parent in vitro fertilization. Which means that all options are correct. So answer choice D. Is the correct answer because that mitochondrial replacement therapy or marty, which is the process of replacing the mutated mitochondria with a normal nucleus is also known as mitochondrial donation. Nuclear genome transfer or three parent in vitro fertilization. So answer choice D. Is the correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
