Asthma is a chronic disease of the lung that has been increasing at an alarming rate in industrialized countries around the world over the last few decades. Although considerable progress has been made in our understanding of the underlying pathogenesis of the disease, the exact causes of the increasing prevalence are unknown. Studies suggest that most asthma develops in early childhood and that environmental factors present early in life may be crucial in the development of disease. One potential explanation for the recent epidemic referred to as the "hygiene hypothesis" postulates that factors that have resulted in a reduction in exposure to microbial products and/or infections in the western world may be contributing to this rise in disease prevalence. As early life influences are known to play an important role in establishment of asthma, studies have focused on the interface between mother and child that occurs during gestation and through breastfeeding. In this regard, the body of evidence regarding the relationship between breastfeeding and asthma indicates benefit but with the potential for risk. While providing population-level protection from infections and atopy in infancy and early childhood, breastfeeding might also pose an increased risk of atopic asthma among children with asthmatic mothers.
The correct answer is B. competitive exclusion.
This law refers to the fact that it is nearly impossible for two species to exist in the same place at the same time together, if they are interested in the same resources. If both species need the same thing to survive, one will have to be stronger while the other one will dwindle in number.
convergent evolution - called analogy
a potential source of confusion in constructing a phylogeny is similarity between organisms that is due to convergent evolution - called analogy - rather than to shared ancestry. thus for mammals, the backbone is a shared ancestral character, a character that originated in an ancestor of the taxon
D. Sensory neurons sense a stimulus.
C. Sensory neurons pass info about the stimulus.
B. Interneurons receive and process info about the stimulus.
A. Motor neurons carry directions form interneurons to muscle cells
I THINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They should be limited to suit your needs not overdoing it or underdoing just to a healthy weight.
