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.

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The main function of stomach is to serve as a temporary storage chamber and primarily breaks down food by  mechanical means.

Explanation:

The stomach is a muscular organ located on the left side of the upper abdomen.It secretes acid and enzymes that digest food.The stomach muscles contract periodically, churning food to enhance digestion (breaking down of food by mechanical means). The stomach is made up of several layers of tissues

The mucosa (mucous membrane) is the inner lining of the stomach.

Next is the sub mucosa.

The muscularis propria (or muscularis externa) is the next layer that covers the submucosa. It is the main muscle of the stomach and is made up of 3 layers of muscle.

The serosa is the fibrous membrane that covers the outside of the stomach.

The stomach has 3 main functions:

1.temporary storage for food, which passes from the esophagus to the stomach where it is held for 2 hours or longer

2.mixing and breakdown of food by contraction and relaxation of the muscle layers in the stomach

3.digestion of food

The stomach secretes various secretions containing enzymes which breaks down food chemically and the muscles mechanically break down the food.Food is broken down into a thick, acidic, soupy mixture called chyme, which enters the intestine.
