Explanation:

Gene therapy is the therapeutic delivery of the nucleic acid into the patients cells in the form of drug to treat disease. It is a complex treatment involves more potential for the treatment of the monogenic diseases and is also associated with a lot of significant risks . The children who were suffering from Wiskott- Aldrich syndrome which is a rare disease and were treated as the part of the clinical gene therapy trial which was carried out in the Germany. After treatment, health of children improved significantly. Then after one to three years following the gene therapy, seven out of ten children developed the cancer in the blood .

Public response towards gene therapy and acceptability of changing the genes varied a good deal from one scenario to the another. Many more techniques needed to be developed and more information of the diseases that need to be understood before the gene therapy which involve changes on the genetic setup of the body , it raises many unique ethical concerns. For decades researches are done to bring the gene therapy to clinic , still very less patients are given any effective gene therapy treatments . Even though gene therapy has been slow to reach patients, it's future is encouraging.

Answer;
Adaptive radiation;
The pattern of evolution that is shown by many species of finches on the Galapagos Islands is Adaptive radiation.

Adaptive radiation is a pattern of evolution in which a single lineage undergoes multiple speciation events to fill divergent ecological niches. The result is a cluster of phenotypically distinct related species.
A few million years ago, one species of finch migrated to the rocky Galapagos from mainland of Central or south America. From this one migrant species would come many species;-at least 13 species of finch, which exploit different niches, evolving from a single ancestor.
