Answer:

Mutation

Explanation:

Mutations can be defined as changes in genetic material, which are the main source of existing genetic variation. For ensuring genetic variability, that is, ensuring that individuals have different DNA, mutations are considered an important point in the evolution of living beings.

It is through mutations that important adaptive characteristics emerge, in addition to essential characteristics remaining in species that are different but that have similarities.

These processes also guarantees the selection of species most adapted species.  Mutations can be beneficial, neutral or harmful (genetic diseases or genetic "failures") and, therefore, are not targeted, occurring at <u>random</u>.

Organism whose cell does not contain a nucleus
finlep [7]

Answer:

Prokaryotes are organisms whose cells lack a nucleus and other organelles. Prokaryotes are divided into two distinct groups: the bacteria and the archaea, which scientists believe have unique evolutionary lineages. Most prokaryotes are small, single-celled organisms that have a relatively simple structure.

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Note the fragments from DdeI restriction –

I. AA individuals have two copies of normal b-globin allele.

           b-globin allele ----DdeI-----------> 176 bp + 201 bp + 600 bp

Since there are two copies of b-globin allele, the restriction of AA genome would produce 2 copies each of 176 bp, 201 bp and 600 bp fragments.

II. AS individuals have one normal and one mutated copy b-globin allele. So, following fragments would be obtained -

b-globin allele ----DdeI-----------> 176 bp + 201 bp + 600 bp          

b-globin allele ----DdeI-----------> 376 bp + 600 bp

So, for such genotype, four fragments of MW as shown above would be produced.

III. SS individuals have two mutated copy b-globin allele. So, following fragments would be obtained -

b-globin allele ----DdeI-----------> 376 bp + 600 bp

So, for such genotype, two copies each of the fragments of MW as shown above would be produced.

Match each of the four barriers of innate immunity with its mode of action.
serg [7]

The matches are

A. anatomical barrier   is matched with 1. secretion of sweat, saliva,  and tears.

The epithelium is a physical barrier constituting one of the first defenses against infectious agents. The desquamation of the epidermis thus eliminates bacteria or other infectious agents that have adhered to the surface of the epithelium. In the digestive tract and the respiratory tract, the movement operated by the peristalsis or the eyelashes contribute to the elimination of the infectious agents. The intestinal flora prevents colonization by pathogenic bacteria acting in particular by competition for nutrients. Tears and saliva also help prevent infection of the eyes and mouth, respectively.


B. physiological barrier   is matched with 4. changes in pH and  temperature.

In addition to this physical (or anatomical) barrier, the acidic pH and low moisture content of the stratum corneum, and the skin temperature below 37 ° C, are detrimental to bacterial growth. Finally, the presence of antimicrobial peptides and lipids make the epidermis a true defender against infection.


C. phagocytic barrier  is matched with 3. signaling to macrophages.

Macrophages are cells belonging to white blood cells (leucocytes), which infiltrate tissues. They come from the differentiation of circulating blood leukocytes, monocytes. Monocytes and macrophages are phagocytes and are therefore capable of phagocytosis.

They participate in innate immunity as a non-specific defense, but are able to participate in adaptive immunity via opsonization.


D. inflammatory barrier  is matched with 2. secretion of chemicals.

In an inflammatory reaction, blood flow increases at the lesion area. The blood vessels become more permeable thanks to vasodilator chemical substances, which allows the migration of cells from the blood to the tissues (the call is made using chemokines). The first cells arriving at the site of inflammation are often neutrophils, then macrophages arrive and then lymphocytes if there is immune stimulation.
