It is unclear why this question is so long. Really, the important part is: 'why would a bone marrow transplant help someone whose red blood cells had a genetic defect?'. The answer is that bone marrow is responsible for generating red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Bone marrow is the tissue found inside your bones. This tissue contains stem cells which develop into the different blood components mentioned above. Replacing the bone marrow would overcome the problem of a genetic defect of the blood.

From your genetics lab, Agrobacterium tumefaciens gram-positive bacterium was used during your experiment on genetic manipulation of a corn plant

Rhizobiaceae is a family of bacteria that includes Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Gram-negative and aerobically growing, these bacteria don't produce endospores. The cells have one to six peritrichous flagella and are rod-shaped and motile. Cells can exist alone or in pairs and range in size from 0.6 to 1.0 m by 1.5 to 3.0 m.

Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a gram-negative bacterium that causes tumors in plants through horizontal gene transfer. In a variety of plant species, Agrobacterium tumefaciens has been widely exploited as the primary agent in the generation of transgenic plants. A soil phytopathogen called Agrobacterium tumefaciens naturally infects plant wound sites and causes the disease known as crown gall by the transfer of (T)-DNA.
