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 farmer raising cattle for beef production has divided his range into four quadrants of equal size which quadrant of range land
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The quadrant with more probabilities of overgrazing would be the one in which the drinkers and the rest zone is.

Explanation:

When a farmer has cattle for beef, most of them divide the land in quarters and limit each of them, this is to keep the cattle in only one quarter to make sure they eat all the forages in there and then they pass to the next quarter, this gives the other quarters (the forage) time to grow properly.

If the farmer uses all the four quarters, the  natural behavior of the cattle would make the quarter that has the drinkers and the rest zone to be more likely to have an overgrazing.

This is because cows look for their aliments near them and near their comfort zone, they only move when the forage of that area is over.
