Final answer:

Gene therapy involves using a non-mutated gene delivered by a virus as a vector to treat genetic diseases.


Explanation:

Gene therapy is a genetic engineering technique where a non-mutated gene is inserted into diseased cells using a virus as a vector to deliver the foreign DNA into the cell's genome. This process involves the modification of viruses like adenoviruses to carry the new gene into the targeted cell, initiating the synthesis of a functioning protein.
