Answer: adaptive immune response
Explanation:
Autoimmune disorders are caused by different microoorganism and drug which manipulates the immune system in a way that immune system become unable to recognise between self antigen and foreign antigen. In that case immune system treats foreign antigen as self antigen which cause systemic or organ specific damage.
The exact cause of autoimmune disorders is unknown and hence it is thought that it is caused by adaptive immune response which builds against self antigens and causes damage to the cells.
Hence, some autoimmune disorders are thought to be caused by adaptive immune response.
Answer:
First, we take the owl out, the total number of mouse increases at a higher rate and the chipmunks are also decreasing in numbers. In an ideal ecosystem, both mice (lets call it "a") and chipmunks (lets call it "b") should increase since the restraining factor has been removed. But that is the opposite of what we should see. In that case, we will take the owl to be the "limiting factor" for the rodents.
Am
The rodents will have free movement and exercise their fitness over the area, competition sets in between the two species. So we see, a flourishes while b dies out. This can be viewed most predictably that a has an overall greater fitness and would easily get resources and strive readily, which influences the survival rate for 2.
