Why do viruses make good genetic vectors?

What will be an ideal response?


Viruses make good genetic vectors because they actually become part of an organism's DNA before the organism's immune system can overcome it. By removing the disease-causing genes from a virus, desired genetic material can be inserted. The virus then carries the new DNA into the cell nuclei of the animal that is to be genetically altered.
