When a microbe that is not part of the normal biota enters the body, it is likely to first encounter first line of host defense.

The term "normal microbiota" describes the microorganisms that are present in every human's conjunctiva, oral mucosa, skin's surface and deeper layers, saliva, and gastrointestinal tracts. The host employs a number of defences to defend against infection.

Mucus, which has a variety of normal microbiota that compete with and may even destroy invasive bacteria and virae, is one of the body's first lines of defence.Once a virus or bacteria penetrates the skin and mucosa, the host may experience changes that lessen the invader's power. A fever is one instance of such a shift.

Therefore, When a microbe that is not part of the normal biota enters the body, it is likely to first encounter first line of host defense.

Answer:

Explanation:

The field of recombinant DNA technology is a thoroughly modern discipline that has led to new ways to treat infectious diseases.

Recombinant DNA technology involves the process of combining DNA of different organisms and inserting such in a host organism in order to elicit desirable genetic characters that could be of value to different fields in science.

The fields in which recombinant DNA technology has found applications include agriculture, medicine, and industrial productions. With this technology, new drugs and methods of treating diseases have been developed in the area of medicine, disease-resistant crop varieties have been developed in agriculture, and important chemicals for production have been developed in industries.
