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.

Animals that have a complete<br>tube-like gut with two openings​
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

All mammals, like dogs, cats, and humans; reptiles, amphibians, fish, birds, and even insects.

Explanation:

All mammals, like dogs, cats, and humans; reptiles, amphibians, fish, birds, and even insects are the animals that have a complete  tube-like gut with two openings​. A system having a tube with two openings i.e. mouth and an anus is called tubular system. In this tubular system, the animals eat with one opening and the other opening is used for excretion of waste and nitrogenous materials from the body so that's why most of the animals have two openings.

What is the relationship of nitrogen and grass
fredd [130]

Nitrogen is the major nutrient required by grass and is used to stimulate high growth rates and is key to achieving high yields, however if too much nitrogen is applied this can have a negative effects on quality.

High rates of nitrogen can also cause problems with silage fermentation due to excess nitrate having a negative impact on the fermentation process and will produce silage that is less palatable and the animals will be less keen to eat it.

<span> <span> </span> </span> <span> Nitrate is generally taken up by grasses quicker than it is incorporated into proteins and until used this excess known as luxury uptake is stored in the leaves. Excess nitrate will be present if insufficient time is allowed between application and mowing and can also occur under conditions of poor growth eg low light levels, cool temperatures. It is also a problem if there is a dry spell after application, when nitrate cannot be taken up by the roots, followed by a period of wet weather that results in luxury uptake. The plant cannot convert it to protein quickly enough so it accumulates in the plant. </span>

High rates of nitrogen may cause a reduction in crop sugars as they are used to provide energy for the increased rate of plant growth and for the manufacture of plant proteins and this increased growth rate may in turn lead to lower crop dry matter content although in practice this is often not significant.

Excess nitrate can be avoided by following the Grassland Rule to apply nitrogen at the rate of no more than 2.5 kg N/ha/day.

Why "charge" reduces rate of diffusion in cell membrane
Over [174]

Answer:

Each ion or charged molecule in a fluid contributes to the fluid's overall electric charge. A difference in charge between two regions of fluid can affect the rate and direction of diffusion between them. For example, positively charged substances will tend to diffuse toward a region with an overall negative charge.
