thanks!

thanks but actually it was viruses

you duh you duh

The answer to the question is viruses. Gene therapy research uses viruses to alter defective hereditary material. To find the answer, you can eliminate the other options based on your understanding of gene therapy.

Bacteria are not typically used in gene therapy as they do not have the ability to efficiently deliver genetic material into human cells. Interferons are substances produced by the immune system to defend against viruses, so it would not make sense to use interferons for altering hereditary material.

Cells, on the other hand, are not used to alter defective hereditary material directly. Instead, viruses are used as vectors to deliver the desired genetic material into the cells. Therefore, the most appropriate answer is viruses.
