A severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) patient undergoes gene therapy using a retroviral vector to deliver the functional ADA gene. A potential long-term complication specifically associated with this vector type is:
Insertional mutagenesis leading to oncogenesis
Hypersensitivity reaction to the viral vector
Development of neutralizing antibodies against ADA
Rapid clearance of the vector by the immune system

Living plants
Sunlight
Chemosynthetic bacteria
Dead organic matter
In a detritus food chain, the primary source of energy comes from:
Sunlight
Producers
Dead organic matter
Inorganic compounds
In a primary succession on bare rock, which of the following represents the MOST likely order of dominant plant communities over time, assuming no major disturbances?
Lichens → Mosses → Grasses → Shrubs → Trees
Mosses → Lichens → Grasses → Trees → Shrubs
Grasses → Shrubs → Trees → Mosses → Lichens
Trees → Shrubs → Grasses → Mosses → Lichens
Insertional mutagenesis, a potential risk of gene therapy, refers to:
Immune response against the therapeutic gene
Degradation of the therapeutic gene
Unintended insertion of the therapeutic gene disrupting other genes
Failure of the therapeutic gene to be expressed
What is the term for the intermediate communities that develop during ecological succession?
Seral communities
Climax communities
Pioneer communities
