Professional antigen-presenting cells, such as phagocytes, are the first cells to encounter a pathogen (apcs). This means they have the ability to activate cells of the adaptive immune system.

<h3>What is meant by Pathogen?</h3>
  • A pathogen is an organism that infects its host with disease, and the severity of the disease symptoms is referred to as virulence.
  • Pathogens include viruses, bacteria, unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes, and a wide range of other organisms.
  • The bone marrow of an average healthy adult generates 100 billion new neutrophils per day. Because there are so many neutrophils in the body at any given time, they are often the first cells to reach the site of an infection.
  • Long thought to be a component of the innate immune system, complement has recently emerged as an important regulator of the adaptive immune response.

Therefore the correct option is D)  can activate cells of the adaptive immune system.

Only individuals belonging to the same species are able to
True [87]

There are some possible answers which all mean the same thing:

- Produce fertile offspring

- Produce offspring

- Reproduce


→ Only individuals of a same species (sometimes genus) can reproduce because in order to reproduce animals need to have a similar genetic code, and there is now code more similar than the one of individuals of their own species.

6. species Closely related of orchids never mate in the wild because they bloom at different times. This is an example of ______
Dimas [21]

Answer:

temporal reproductive isolation

Explanation:

The correct answer would be temporal reproductive isolation.

<u>Reproductive isolation</u> generally refers to series of biological mechanisms or processes that prevent members of different species from mating/fertilization or prevent the product of their mating to be invalid.

Some reproductive isolation processes prevent members of different species from mating or prevent fertilization as a result of mating. These processes are known as pre-zygotic reproductive isolation mechanisms.

Some other processes ensure that the product of fertilization (when it occurs) is invalid. These are known as post-zygotic isolation mechanisms.

<em>A good example of the pre-zygotic reproductive isolation process is </em><em>when closely related by different species bloom at different times</em><em>. This will prevent mating or cross-pollination to happen between the different species. This is known as temporal reproductive isolation.</em>

lina2011 [118]

Explanation:

<em>Punnett squares can determine the likelihood of producing a child with a particular trait.
