Question

what is the role of the vector in gene therapy?
a the vector helps incorporate the desired gene into the patient’s dna.
b the vector helps incorporate the chromosome into the patient’s dna.
c the vector helps incorporate the patient’s dna into the desired gene.
d the vector helps incorporate the patient’s gene into the chromosome.

Explanation:

In gene therapy, vectors (like viral vectors or non - viral vectors) are used to deliver the desired therapeutic gene into the patient's cells so that the gene can be incorporated into the patient's DNA. Option a correctly describes this role. Option b is incorrect because vectors don't incorporate chromosomes. Option c has the process reversed. Option d also has an incorrect description of what the vector does.

Answer:

a. The vector helps incorporate the desired gene into the patient's DNA.
