Practice question
Question
Which non-viral gene delivery method utilizes physical forces to introduce genetic material into cells?
Explanation
Electroporation applies brief high-voltage pulses creating transient pores in plasma membrane, allowing DNA entry via physical force without viral vectors. Liposomes and poly-L-lysine are chemical carriers, adenoviruses are viral vectors, thus electroporation is categorized as physical non-viral delivery method.
