This would directly affect the epidermis because blisters will develop within the surface of the skin. Having blisters on the epidermis will decrease the function of the skin to be an effective barrier to disease. This is because blisters are open wounds that are prone to infection. As infection passes through these openings, it will affect the dermis and the other layers of the skin. Bullae is actually an auto-immune skin disease.

It can be seen on a cladogram that modern birds and reptiles share a common ancestor. Select the piece of evidence that best sup
garri49 [273]

The evidence supporting the idea that modern birds and reptiles share a common ancestor is that feathers are a derived characteristic that first evolved in reptiles. Feathers represent an evolutionary derived trait.

In evolutionary biology, an autapomorphy is a distinctive phenotypic trait referred to as a derived trait, which is unique to a particular group/taxon.

The derived traits are phenotypic features that arise during the evolution of a particular taxonomic group.

These traits (derived traits) differ from the phenotypic trait of the ancestor of the group.

X has successfully been transmitted to your body; you are now infected. All of the following among A-D are possible consequences
Natasha2012 [34]

The complete options to the question includes:

A.You never show any symptoms of disease and there is no sign of the pathogen in your body.

B.You exhibit mild symptoms of disease and the levels of the pathogen in your body are quickly reduced and eliminated.

C.You succumb to the worst effects of the disease but survive due to administration of antimicrobial agents.

D.You never show any symptoms of disease, but the pathogen persists in your body.

E.There are no exceptions, A-D are all plausible outcomes.

Answer: The correct option is A (You never show any symptoms of disease and there is no sign of the pathogen in your body).

Explanation:

Infectious diseases occurs when an individuals system is invaded by pathogenic microorganisms (virus,bacteria,fungi and parasite). These microorganisms may or may not cause disease but this depends on the healthy state of the host. They can also be transmitted from one person to another.

To explain the options why all are plausible outcomes when X has successfully been transmitted into the body except A includes:

B) option B can occur when the immune system of the host is able to combat X.

C.) Option C can occur when antimicrobial is given to suppress the activities of X

D) option D can occur when the individual may become an asymptomatic carrier of X. ( Individual shows no symptoms and signs of disease caused by X but the pathogen is still present in the body).

But option A is not possible as X must be present to show there was a transmission.

The cell membrane is semi-permeable, kind of like a filter to let some molecules in and keep larger molecules out
