In some individuals, the immune system attacks substances such as grass pollen that are usually harmless, resulting in
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

An allergic reaction

Explanation:

An allergic reaction occurs when our immune system misinterprets a harmless substance into a harmful antigen and initiate an over-expressed immune response against it. Some of these allergic substances are pollen, molds, insect stings, etc.

These allergens trigger the production of IgE antibodies in the body which interact with different cell and initiate the release of chemicals like histamine that cause symptoms of allergic reaction.

It can affect the nose, skin, lung, stomach lining, etc. Therefore the correct answer is an allergic reaction.

In California, a species of salamanders were geographically separated over time. The group that lived in southern California rel
alex41 [277]

Answer:

It ocurred a selection by allopatric speciation

Explanation:

The allopatric speciation refers to the evolution in which the same specie starts developing different characteristics because of geographic barrers and this characteristics after some time generates two different specie.

It happens because usually according to the environment or the predators, species have to develop different adaptations so they can survive. In this case we have two different types of camouflage adaptations made by the salamanders acording to the conditions so for one specie it is better to camouflage from the predator mean while to the other is better to use lived colors to seem as it is a poisonous animal and in this way avoid the predators.

So you can see the same specie develop different strategies to survive because of a geographic separation, generating an allopatric speciation.

In a plant called jimsonweed, flowers can be white or purple. A jimsonweed plant with white flowers is crossed with a jimsonweed
STALIN [3.7K]

<u>Answer:</u>

Although statements are not given in the question, we could make the most possible deduction as follows:

The allele for purple flowers is dominant whereas allele for white flowers is recessive.

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to the question,

  1. Purple flower plant was crossed with white flower plant.
  2. All offsprings have purple flowers.

Here we have one possibility that both parents were homozygous but in their own traits. <u>Purple flower</u> plants were "PP" and white <u>flower plants</u> were "pp" So, the <u>first progeny</u> (direct offsprings) would have "Pp". So, as per considerations, purple is dominant allele which will mask the recessive allele thus defining the color of all offsprings as purple. However, further cross of their generation will definitely end up into purple and white flowers (3:1) but this condition is not mentioned in the statement.
