Answer:

The correct answer is B. enzymes

Explanation:

Enzymes are made up of proteins and they are important to the body to perform metabolic activities. Some enzymes play an important role in providing non-specific defense to the body for example lysozyme.

Lysozyme is present in saliva and tears which protect us from bacterial infection. It acts on the peptidoglycan cell wall of bacteria and kill bacteria by destroying their cell wall. Vagina contains lactobacillus species that produce acids and decrease the pH of the vagina which resists most bacteria to grow.

It also have secretory glycoproteins(antibodies) like IgA and IgG which protect the vaginal tissue from invading microbes.

Suppose that, among related host species that carry related symbionts, the relationship is mutualistic in some pairs and parasit
romanna [79]

Answer & Explanation:

a) a) Mutualistic relationship differs from parasitism because the first one benefits both of the involved organisms. Otherwise, parasitism benefits only one of the organisms and it can harm the host. Therefore, the parasite would have to be smaller than the host and it would be somehow extracting energy from the host.

b) The direction of evolutionary changes would follow some kind of pattern, like coevolution. Therefore, analyzing the phylogenies individually and then contrasting them, would help to understand how the host, as well as the parasite, have been evolving.

c) The phylogeny would also help to understand what changed first, or if they changed together as a result of coevolution.
