During gene therapy, Viruses act as vectors to carry the normal gene into the genome of the stem cells.
Gene therapy uses viruses to implant therapeutic genes into stem cells. Viruses proliferate by injecting their genetic material into living cells. A virus is utilized to implant a healthy version of the ADA gene into the patient's stem cells in order to treat ADA-SCID.
Since stem cells may regenerate on their own, the need for recurrent injections of therapeutic cells may be reduced or perhaps eliminated in cell-based gene therapy. Gene therapy's main objective is to treat illnesses brought on by damaged genes.
Cell treatment is the transfer of cells to a patient, whereas gene therapy involves the transfer of genetic material into the proper cells. The transfer of genetic material during gene therapy often occurs in vector form.

Answer:
The correct answer is option e) "Over time, we could see an increase in the H1 allele frequency".
Explanation:
The bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) is a species that is a very attractive for hunters because of its long horns. This negative human influence has make that bighorn sheep with long horns struggle to survive and reproduce. Horn size in bighorn sheep is determined primarly by a gene called HRN, which has two alleles H1 (for long horns) and H2 (for smaller horns). if hunting were discontinued for bighorn sheep in a large population we can predict that over time, we could see an increase in the H1 allele frequency, because in this population bighorn sheep with long horns will have better chances of surviving.
