The use of retroviral therapies can increase the patient's risk of developing cancer because they may integrate recombinant DNA into the genome in ways that may misregulate the expression of genes. Therefore the correct option is D.

<h3>What is retroviral therapy? </h3>

Retroviral therapy is an HIV treatment where medicines are taken as prescribed by a healthcare professional. This treatment reduces the amount of HIV in an HIV-infected person.

HIV does not have a cure but antiretroviral therapy can reduce the risk of potential health issues caused by HIV.

This treatment can help to control the virus in an HIV-infected person within 6 months. The treatment for HIV cannot prevent the transmission of other sexually transmitted diseases.

Therefore the correct option is D.

A clone is a creature made from the DNA of a single cell.<br><br> True<br><br> False
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Sort of, true.

Explanation:

Cloning is when you take the DNA of a somatic cell of the animal you are trying to clone and add it to an embryo. It will then develop into a baby with the same DNA as the other animal.

(but in my opinion, you're just giving the test animal a sibling.)
