Viruses are often used as vectors to deliver copies of genes into cells. These modified viruses can effectively introduce genetic material into host cells by exploiting the virus's natural ability to infect and transfer DNA. Other methods include liposomes, which are lipid-based carriers that encapsulate the DNA, and plasmids, which are circular DNA molecules that can be taken up by cells. Each method has its advantages depending on the specific application and type of cells being targeted.
What else can I help you with?
How many copies of a gene do cells of a human have Where did these copies come from?
Human cells typically have two copies of each gene, one inherited from each parent. These copies come from the combination of genetic material during fertilization, where sperm and egg cells each contribute a set of chromosomes containing the genes. In total, humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, resulting in two copies of most genes, except for genes located on the sex chromosomes in males.
In what cell structure are the genes in plant and animal cells?
nucleus
Do strawberry and human have the same DNA?
There would be more DNA in a strawberry because strawberries are octoploids, they have 8 copies of genes rather than 2 copies found in a cheek cells .
What are nucleic acid molecules used to deliver new genes to cells called?
Nucleic acid molecules used to deliver new genes to cells are called vectors. These vectors can be viruses (viral vectors) or artificially constructed pieces of DNA or RNA (non-viral vectors), and are essential for gene therapy research and applications.
What is a structure in cells where genes are found made of proteins and DNA?
The structure in cells where genes are found is called the nucleus. It is surrounded by a nuclear envelope and contains chromosomes, which are made of proteins and DNA. The DNA within the chromosomes carries the genetic information required for the functioning and development of the organism.

Why must certain genes in eukaryotic cells be present in multiple copies?
To produse RNA
What are threadlike structures in nucleus of cells that contain genes?
DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, is the structure that contains the genes.
In what cell structure are the genes in plant and animal cells?
nucleus

How many copies of each cell are in cells?
2 one from the mother and one from the father assuming that it is of a diploid organism also if there is no genetic disease such as downs syndrome that could cause multiple copies of genes
Structure located in cells containing genes?
The things in the nucleus are called chromosomes.. I think that's what you mean ..
Do eukaryotic cells have genes?
All cells have genes
