The insertion of working copies of a gene into cells, to correct genetic disorders

Real World Example

Imagine you have a broken zipper on your favorite jacket that keeps getting stuck. Fixing it permanently by replacing the faulty part with a new, functioning zipper is much like how gene therapy works. Gene therapy involves inserting working copies of a gene into cells to replace the faulty ones, just as you would replace the malfunctioning zipper to restore the jacket's function, ensuring smooth operation and eliminating the problem.
