A) gene-affected therapy
B) genetic surgery

A genetic principle in which the dominant allele masks the effect of a recessive allele in heterozygous pairs.
Dominant Gene
A genetic sequence that overpowers and determines the expression of a trait over another allele.
Recessive Gene
A gene that produces its characteristic phenotype only when its allele is identical, being masked by the effects of a dominant gene when paired with it.
