Gene therapy is a medical field which focuses on the utilisation of the therapeutic delivery of nucleic Acids into a patient's cell as a drug to treat disease.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Taq DNA Polymerase was originally isolated from thermophilic bacterium of the Deinococcus-Thermus group located near the Lower Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park by Thomas D. Brock and Hudson Freeze, in 1969. This thriving bacterium was named Thermus aquaticus (T. aquaticus).

Gene therapy is designed 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.so. this is called gene therapy.
