the size difference between most multicellular hosts and their pathogens results in which of the following evolutionary advantag

es for the pathogen? group of answer choices pathogens have larger population sizes and shorter generation times than hosts, allowing for increased rates of adaptation. pathogens have lower mutation rates than hosts, resulting in more stable populations. hosts evolve more rapidly due to mutations induced by the pathogen. host population sizes increase in the presence of a pathogen, providing more potential hosts for infection.

Pathogens can adapt more quickly than hosts since they have higher populations and faster generation periods.

Pathogens, of course, have the advantage in this evolutionary game because they can change far more quickly than the hosts—especially in long-lived animals like humans—due to their high population numbers and rapid generation rates. The relationship between surface area and complement activation shows how bacterial pathogenicity may be influenced by tiny size. The region of the microbial surface may also have a role in their action since other antimicrobial agents are focused there. A pathogen reacts with the host and creates infection, which results in the host being ill. Any dangerous microbial agent, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, fungi, and helminths, might be considered a pathogen.

If a species makes up a small portion of the community by weight, yet exerts a disproportionate influence on community diversity
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- Keystone species

Explanation:

The structure of a community is largely determined by the number of species present in the community called species richness and the species diversity.

The species which can play an important role in determining the community could be of two types the foundation species and keystone species.

The species which directly influence the diversity of a community irrespective of their number and abundance is known as the keystone species.

In the given question since the question has discussed the species which disproportionately influence the diversity of the community is known as keystone species.

Thus, keystone species is the correct answer.

if retinal detachment occurs in the macula lutea, one can predict that there would be a significant loss of ______.
vodka [1.7K]
The correct answer is color vision.
The macula lutea is an area near the center of the human's eye retina. It has an oval shape and is responsible for the high-resolution color vision we have under good light conditions. If the macula lutea is destroyed, due to macular degeneration or a retinal detachment, then this color vision is impaired.

What is the environmental pressure of a giraffe
Yuri [45]
The answer to this question would be: increased food height

Giraffe becomes tall because its food height is increased. In this case, the environmental pressure on Giraffe would be the increased height of the food.
The taller giraffe has access to higher food. Then, the giraffe with the higher chance of survival in this scenario would be the giraffe with a taller height.
