Why might using retroviral vectors for gene therapy increase the patient's risk of developing cancer? a. Retroviral vectors may

introduce proteins from the virus. b. Retroviral vectors do not express the genes that were introduced into a patient's cells. c. Retroviral vectors do not integrate their recombinant DNA into the patient's genome. d. Retroviral vectors integrate recombinant DNA into the genome in ways that may misregulate the expression of genes at or near the site of integration.

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.

The stimulation of an inadequate number of sodium channels for the generation of a positive sodium channel feedback loop is cons
diamong [38]

Answer:

Sub-threshold

Explanation:

If the stimulus is too small to generate the action potential, it is considered as subthreshold stimulus. Subthreshold stimulus causes the opening of small number of sodium channel i.e. not enough to generate action potential because action potential is generated by complete reversal of membrane polarity. Slight depolarization is caused by subthreshold stimulus by the opening of inadequate number of sodium channel but its magnitude is not enough to reach the threshold voltage. Consequently the action potential is not generated.

The response produced by subthreshold stimulus is called as local response or local depolarization because it could not travel further. The minimum stimulus required to generate the action potential is call as threshold stimulus and stimulus greater than threshold stimulus is called as suprathreshold stimulus. It changes the frequency of generated action potential.

prisoha [69]
<span>Yes, people besides athletes can benefit from skill-related fitness. Skill related fitness training can increase the coordination, reaction time, balance and agility of individuals at large, leading to an increased in ability to complete routine workplace tasks. Accident avoidance can be a benefit to cab drivers with increased reaction times. Wait staff can benefit from increased balance to skillfully carry large trays, Mechanics with good coordination are able to more quickly assemble complex components and in the even of a physical confrontation police officers can benefit from increased agility.</span>
