Answer:

Viruses can be used to insert genetic material into cells during gene therapy

Explanation:

Gene therapy is a process used to introduce genetic material into cells to compensate for abnormal genes or to make a beneficial protein. If a mutated gene causes a necessary protein to be faulty or missing, gene therapy may be able to introduce a normal copy of the gene to restore the function of the protein.

A gene that is inserted directly into a cell usually does not function. Instead, a carrier called a vector is genetically engineered to deliver the gene. Certain viruses are often used as vectors because they can deliver the new gene by infecting the cell. The viruses are modified so they can't cause disease when used in people.

A scientist was observing a specimen under a microscope. He obtained the specimen from pond water. He observed that the specimen
NNADVOKAT [17]

There are three ways you can solve this problem:

1.- You can guide yourself through knowledge, and therefore know the answer. There isn´t much to explain here.

2.- You can eliminate obvious options such as sarcodina or apicomplexa. Euglenoid isn´t an extremely obvious removal since it has a flagela, which can be mistook by a hairy-structure. But, if you do things correctly, obtaining your answer wont be a problem.

3.- You can do an etymologic-guess, which works really well in biology. If you guide yourself this way, you´ll bump into the answer quickly --> "cilio" means hair and according to the description the specimen was covered in hairy structures.

Hope it helped,
