The type of glial cells are particularly at risk from the disease are the Schwann cells.  This disease is caused by a bacterium, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, and is caused when the bacteria releases a toxin, or poison, into a person's body. The Schwann cells produces insulating myelin sheath that covers the axons of many neurons. These cells may suffers immune or toxic attacks with diphtheria infection.

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A. "directional selection".

Explanation:

Directional selection is a type of natural selection at which traits with extreme characteristics are selected over traits with medium characteristics. In this case,  a long-term climatic change resulted in all seeds that are the fountain of food for finch becoming hard. This will result in a directional selection on bill size in the finch population, where large-billed birds will be selected over small and medium-billed birds.

Because global temperatures are ________[1], some species are seeking out ______[2] elevations in the Himalayas to colonize. Sci
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

increasing[1], higher[2], space[3], food[4], climate change[5].

Explanation:

Because global temperatures are <u>increasing[1]</u>, some species are seeking out <u>higher[2]</u> elevations in the Himalayas to colonize.  Scientists were worried that these organisms would not have enough <u>space[3]</u> to live, but they have found that there is adequate <u>food[4]</u> at higher elevations. This movement may help these organisms survive the effects of <u>climate change[5].</u>

(Although am positive about 1, 2 and 5, you will need to double check 3 and 4.  What I can tell you is that I don't think lifespan has to do with 3 or 4.  I chose space and food simply due to the thought that more species moving to higher elevations allows for less space to live, but more prey to be hunted easier.)
