Explanation:
follow traditional heredity patterns described by Mendelian laws. A mother has a
mitochondrial condition where she produces a modified version of ATP synthase that is embedded in the inner mitochondrial
membrane. Which outcome is predicted for a mother who has four children with an unaffected father?
ALL PROTISTS ARE UNICELLULAR AND MICROSCOPIC IN NATURE, is the correct answer.
Protists are diverse collection of organisms which are primarily microscopic and unicellular in nature. Protists are scientifically categorized as eukaryotes and one definition of protists states that prosists are all eukaryotes organisms that are not animal, plant or fungi.
D) increases reproduction of native species
Explanation:
Non-invasive or non-native species or exotic species do not increase the reproduction rate of native species.
In fact, studies have shown that they reduce the rate of reproduction of the native ones.
- Invasive species where they are successful are huge threat to the stability of an ecosystem.
- Some invasive species are capable of destroying habitats by substituting for their functional roles.
- They compete with native species. In some cases, where an invasive specie is a predator, it preys on the native ones.
- Invasive species are capable of destroying the food source in an ecosystem.

In human gene therapy, a genetically modified virus (a.k.a. a viral vector) can alter the genetic variation of a cell, but not all viral vectors do.
The process often begins with the delivery of or creation of a segment of viral double stranded DNA (containing the gene you want to introduce). Then typically an enzyme known as an integrase cuts the ends of the segment of viral DNA and also cuts open the cell's DNA. Then the viral DNA is integrated/ inserted into the cell's DNA. The connecting ends are ligated together and adjusted so that the nucleotide base pairs match up.
This in the future may affect the gene pool for instance if the viral DNA (your gene) was inserted in the middle of another gene or important regulatory sequence of the cell DNA, and this alteration may be passed on into offspring and become present in the gene pool, which could have bad effects.
The effects on the gene pool really depends on what the virus ends up doing. For example, it may fix the function of a damaged gene which is the goal, and allow for a working gene to be in the gene pool, which would be good. The problem with gene therapy is that it's difficult to predict 100% what the virus will do every time it is given to a patient.
But it's very important to consider that it will only affect the gene pool if the virus is able to enter and alter germ cells (reproductive cells). If the virus, enters somatic cells (regular body cells) this will not be passed on to future generations. So viruses can be designed to avoid germ cells and avoid this gene pool issue. Also, some viral vectors use viruses that do not integrate their DNA, the cells just express the viral DNA (create the desired protein from it) and over time the viral DNA is degraded/ lost which wouldn't pose this threat.
This is long, but I hope it helped!
