Answer: A. endocarditis

Explanation:

Endocarditis is the inflammatory process of the endocardium, especially that located in the heart valves. There are several factors causing endocarditis, the most frequent and lethal being endocarditis caused by infectious agents. The most common mechanism is endothelial injury due to blood flow turbulence, be the one generated by a defective valve (rheumatic, bicuspid aortic valve, dysfunctional valve prosthesis), or by any congenital anomaly that causes flow turbulence (interventricular communication, obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, aortic coarctation).

The most common site of injury, and therefore the most frequent site of vegetation formation, is at the closing line of a valve, usually on the atrial surface of the atrioventricular valves or on the ventricular surface of the ventriculoarterial valves. With the endothelial lesion occurs the formation of a sterile thrombus, which can be colonized by bacteria that multiply there, turning the thrombus into vegetation. These vegetations are avascularized, making the treatment of endocarditis difficult due to the low access of antibiotics to microorganisms.

Modified organisms may contaminate the natural, wild populations.
prisoha [69]

The genetic technique in the above statement describes an ethical issue of: C. transgenic organisms.

<h3>What is a transgenic organism?</h3>

A transgenic organism can be defined as a type of organism which has been modified with genetic materials obtained from other species of organisms.

Generally, transgenic organisms are typically used in the following areas:

  • Agriculture growth.
  • Biotechnology.

In conclusion, we can infer and logically deduce that the modification of organisms through the use of transgenic organisms may contaminate the natural, wild populations.
