<span>very acidic ph - stomach
mucociliary escalator - intestines
cerumen and sebum - ear
lysozyme - tears and saliva
keratin and tightly packed cells - skin
</span>
The correct answer is "mucociliary escalator intestines".
The mucociliary escalator is a mechanism that belongs to the bronchi, not the intestines. The mucociliary escalator is a mechanism of self-clearing where cilium, cilia and mucus work together to expel any material that's solid, or not too fluid or gaseous, including pathogens. From the main bronchi to the alveoli there is a moist lining produced by the specific present epithelium. This epithelium presents cilia. The cilia are embedded in mucus. The mucus is what helps in trapping any material that's solid, or not too fluid or gaseous, including pathogens. After these are trapped so that they don't progress to the alveoli, the cilia move in such a way that push the particles again to the exterior of the bronchi, like an escalator.

Explain the difference between selective breeding and genetic engineering in the development of food crops with desirable traits
Brums [2.3K]

Selective breeding is the traditional method for improving crops and livestock, such as increasing disease resistance or milk yield.

Genetic engineering is a faster way, which transplants genes for a desired characteristic into an organism. However, genetic engineering offers many potential benefits but carries the risk of unexpected harmful effects.

ira [324]
1. DDAA, DdAa
2. DDaa, Dada
3. ddAA, ddAa
4. ddaa
5. The phenotypic ratio is 9:3:3:1 where 9 combinations will produce offspring with both dominant phenotypes (dimples and brown hair), 3 will produce offspring with one dominant phenotype and one receive phenotype (dimples, blonde hair), 3 will produce offspring with one receive phenotype and one dominant phenotype (no dimples, brown hair), and one will produce offspring with both recessive phenotypes (no dimples, blonde hair)
