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.

A cross that results from a yellow and a purple allele together will result in what color corn kernel?
sweet [91]

Answer:

1.) yellow

Explanation:

The high possibility of corn kernel colour is yellow if the yellow colour allele is dominant because the dominant trait or allele always appear in the offspring while on the other hand, the recessive allele does not appear in the shape and structure of the offspring so we can say that dominance is the reason for the appearance of colour in the seed or kernel.

1. What is the result of a rock undergoing physical weathering?
juin [17]

1. The answer is; soil.  When rock weathers, it disintegrates into small and smaller particles. When these fine rocks particles combine with organic matter from living organisms, they make soil. The mineral component of the soil is therefore similar to that of the parent rock from which it came from.



2. Chemical weathering involves the reaction of the rock mineral with ‘chemicals’ or other compounds. These may include reaction with organic acids or acidic rainwater.  Due to the chemical reaction, the rock chemical composition changes and the physical appearance may also look different.



3. The answer is limestone rocks. They are made of carbon-carbonate minerals. Carbon carbonate is easily dissolved by acids include slightly acidic rainwater/ precipitation.        

CO2 + H2O → H2CO3 (carbon dioxide + water → carbonic acid)

H2CO3 + CaCO3 → Ca(HCO3)2 (carbonic acid + calcium carbonate → calcium bicarbonate)




4. Weathering of rocks is slower in cold regions than dry regions. This is because cold places do not encourage chemical weathering. Chemical weathering requires higher temperatures to  increase the energies of the chemical atoms so that they react fast.
