Answer: Sebum

Explanation: Sebaceous gland secretes sebum which is a chemical mediator that helps in lubrication and protection.

The sebaceous gland is present in skin and produces oil which is an endogenous mediator which provides a seal for the harmful microorganism so that they cannot the body through skin.

In this way it also protects the sweat gland which produces sweat.some of the bacteria that causes acne uses lipase to degrade sebum and causes infection.

Hence, the correct answer is option B

The higher the proportion of loci that are "fixed" in a population, the lower are that population's
Zanzabum

The correct option is (D) Nucleotide variability and average heterozygosity

The higher the proportion of loci that are "fixed" in a population, the lower are that population's nucleotide variability and average heterozygosity.

<h3>What does it indicate when a gene in a population is fixed?</h3>
  • In population genetics, fixation is the transformation of a gene pool from one in which at least two alleles of a certain gene exist in a given population to one in which only one allele persists.
  • Any allele must eventually be lost entirely from the population or fixed (permanently established at 100% frequency in the population) in the absence of mutation or the heterozygote advantage.
  • Selection coefficients and random variations in allelic proportions determine whether a gene will ultimately be lost or fixed. Fixation may relate to a specific nucleotide location in the DNA chain or a gene in general (locus).

The sodium-potassium pump is involved in active transport that moves 3 sodium ions from the cell for every 2 potassium ions it m
Ugo [173]

Answer:

The sodium-potassium pump is an active transporter because it needs to move sodium and potassium ions against the concentration gradient.

Explanation:

You have to think of it as outside vs inside the cell.

Outside the cell, you have 5mM K and 150mM Na. Inside the cell, you have 100mM K and 10mM sodium. Without the transporter then the ions would go from greater concentration to lower concentration.  Energy keeps the ions going from the way they would naturally happen.
