Answer:

Option B, may allow bypass of a blocked coronary artery.

Explanation:

Collateral circulation consists of a network of tiny blood vessels which are nit functional under normal conditions. However, they become functional in case of coronary artery disease.  

In coronary artery disease, the coronary arteries narrow down leading to blockage and stopping the flow of blood in the muscles of heart.  

In this condition, the collateral circulatory network allows flow of blood around and within the blocked artery thereby protecting heart tissue from injury

Hence, option B is correct

How does the reproduction rate of bacteria affect the illmness that is cuased by it?
Elena-2011 [213]
Bacteria are single celled microbes. The cell structure is simpler than that of other organisms as there is no nucleus or membrane bound organelles. Instead their control centre containing the genetic information is contained in a single loop of DNA. Some bacteria have an extra circle of genetic material called a plasmid. The plasmid often contains genes that give the bacterium some advantage over other bacteria. For example it may contain a gene that makes the bacterium resistant to a certain antibiotic.

Bacteria are classified into 5 groups according to their basic shapes: spherical (cocci), rod (bacilli), spiral (spirilla), comma (vibrios) or corkscrew (spirochaetes). They can exist as single cells, in pairs, chains or clusters.
