Answer:

Gene Therapy

Explanation:

Gene Therapy:

<em>Gene therapy is an experimental treatment for genetic disorders that involves removing or replacing a defective or mutated gene with a healthy one. </em>

This technique uses viral and no-viral vectors to insert the healthy copy of a faulty gene into target cells. Extensive research is being conducted on making these vectors safer and bio-compatible (in case of synthetic non-viral vectors).

This is achieved through the application of two methods:

  1. <em>In-vivo</em> gene therapy that involves injecting the healthy gene itself or the vector containing the healthy gene into the patient's body.
  2. <em>Ex-vivo</em> gene therapy that extracts the affected cells from the body and infects them with the healthy gene containing virus. The cells with the new, healthy gene are then grafted back into the body.

One of the factored that contributed to the movement of plants from the water to the land is increased exposure to sunlight. Why
nevsk [136]

The correct answer is - because it increases production of glucose, which is the plants' food.

The main reason why the plants started to move from the water towards the land was that on the land they were able to produce more glucose, and the glucose is the food that the plants produce for themselves.

The increase of glucose production on the land was possible because the plants received more sunlight. The sunlight is crucial for the process of photosynthesis, in fact this process is not possible if there isn't sunlight. By using the sunlight, as well as gases from the atmosphere, the plants manage to create their own food, glucose, and the more they produce of it, the better for them, as they can grow more, live longer, and be in better condition.
