Cellular slime molds live as individual amoeboid cells when food is plentiful. When food decreases, the cells may come together

by the thousand in a form called a slug. This slug possesses cells called sentinel cells, which display a primitive immune function because they:____________
a) circulate through the slug, engulfing bacteria.
b) inserting spikes into bacteria, causing lysis of the bacteria.
c) will produce antibodies in the presence of a virus.
d) release signal molecules similar to cytokine

Answer:

a) circulate through the slug, engulfing bacteria.

Explanation:

Amidst slug cells, Sentinel cells acts as an elementary and competent immune system. These phagocytes goes round the slug body to capture toxic substances and infesting bacteria. It's also known to show the ability to release extracellular DNA traps around the invading/infesting body just ss its eeen in phagocytes of vertebrates and invertebrates.

The option A. Sentinel cells circulate within the slug, engulfing invading bacteria is correct as it also detoxify poisons or toxins, and removing and destroying such from the slug. Its operating mechanism in the cells is regulated by a Toll/Interleukin-1 Receptor domain protein (TirA).

Romashka [77]

The possible reason for this condition is Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus aureus causes over 50% of bone infections. Other organisms include Proteus vulgaris and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as well as E. coli.  The Treatment of acute osteomyelitis includes large doses of I.V. antibiotics (after blood cultures identify the infecting organism). Surgical drainage may be indicated, and the affected bone is immobilized. The client usually requires I.V. fluids to maintain hydration, but oral intake isn't necessarily prohibited.

Assuming that all the traits contributing to the results below are genetically controlled, which member of a population of Mytai
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

The member of the Mytai Lisgrogeous population which is most evolutionarily fit is the one which has the successes rate at reproduction.

Evolutionary fitness has been defined by evolutionary biologists as the ability to successfully adapt and reproduce regardless of the environment.

 

Explanation:

In the case of the Mytai Lisgorgeous, which is a species of bird found in the Amazon Forest, the males come in two variants:

  1. those that are very bright and colorful with very long tails and
  2. those with stubby tails and are of a drab brown color

The argument/question is based on observable phenomena which reveal that, while on one hand, the more colourful ones are more prone to predation than the other group with less plumage, on the other, the birds will a drab colour are less successful at reproduction as the female species of the birds prefer the brightly hued males.

So the logic behind the definition of fitness here is this, it holds no biological value if the members of a species have evolved to the point where they are no longer prone to predation if they cannot reproduce.

Cheers!
