The answer is <span>c. both inside and outside of the mitochondria</span>
Answer:
The fewer number of T cells a person has, the more chances to be affected by an opportunistic infection. When the number of T cells reaches 200 cells/µl, the person is at risk of being infected by other infections.
Explanation:
The whole immune system of a person who is infected with HIV infection seems to be severely affected. When the person is not treated or the disease is in a very advanced stage, the depletion of the T- cells turns to be very sharped, especially CD4+ T cells. At this point, the immune system can not resist the attack of other microorganisms. The <em>lower is the number of CD4+ T Cells, the higher possibility the person has to be attacked by opportunistic infections. </em>
Classically, it has been suggested that opportunistic infections appear after the CD4 + T lymphocytes reach very low levels, such as 200 cells/µl. The number of circulating T cells can be used as an indicator and a measure of global "immune competence", and the previously mentioned amount of CD4 + T cells is an accepted universal reference used to predict the risk of having one of these opportunistic infections.
For the answer to the question above, I believe the answer is the<span> phylogenetic species concept</span>.
The key to the phylogenetic species concept is that species must be "diagnosable." In other words, members of the species should share a combination of characteristics that other species don't have. To look for some unique features that define a phylogenetic species, systematic comparisons must be done by paleontologists with other related fossils or living species
