Answer: An antigen
Explanation:
A molecule that evokes immune response in the body of an organism is known as antigen. These substance can be protein, carbohydrates, lipids when asked for chemical nature.
Physically these substance can be dust particles, smoke, pollen grains, some food particles. Antigen can be defined as the substance that tends to produce immune response by the immune system of the body.
Hence, the correct answer is option D
If they rub together it can make earthquakes and cause landslides or buildings to topple.
Answer:
A mutation is generally referred to as certain alternations in the gene whether it may be DNA sequences, which may be beneficial, harmful or of no significance to the mutant gene bearing organisms.
Explanation:
- A mutation that increases the ability to store moisture in a dry environment is obviously beneficial. Because it prevents dehydration and maintains normal functioning in spite of adverse conditions.
- A color mutation that decreases a bird's chances of sexual selection is beneficial in the sense that it prevent certain abnormalities in offspring like sexual dimorphism. Also sexual selection often proves to be a threat to the survival of the organisms as per handicap principle.
- A mutation in non coding region of DNA is harmful, as it is often observed to facilitate expression of wrong proteins at inappropriate places.
- A mutation in the that does not changes protein synthesis increased white pigmentation on a prey animal in snowy environment as it had prevented adaption of the prey and hence harmful for survival of it.
- A mutation decreasing plant's height in competition to light, makes them less exposed to sun energy important for photosynthesis and hence it is harmful for the plant.
In most animals, the diploid state of the life cycle is much larger than the haploid state.
<h3>What is life cycle?</h3>
The life cycle of animals is the oscillation of their lives between the haploid (n) or sexual phase and the diploid (2n) or vegetative phase.
The haploid or sexual phase of animals has to do with their gametes. The male animals produce male gametes while the female animals produce female gametes.
During fertilization, the haploid male gamete (n) fuses with the haploid female gamete (n) to form a diploid (2n) zygote. The zygote is what divides mitotically to form the baby and continues to divide to form the adult animal.
For example, in humans, the female gamete is the egg while the male gamete is the sperm. The diploid version of humans is what we see every day.
Thus, when you consider it, you will see that the haploid life cycle of most animals is much bigger than their diploid life cycle.

Root hair cells absorb minerals and water from the soil.
The water absorbed by the root hair cells passes through the plant in xylem tubes, to then reach the leaves. The energy from the sun is then used to convert water(H2O) into hydrogen (H) and oxygen(O2).
