Answer:

avoid host immune defenses

Explanation:

A pathogen that is capable of antigenic variation can avoid host immune defenses

- When a foreign pathogen enters the host, they are efficiently targeted by the host immune defenses. The immune defenses particularly identifies a specific surface protein i.e. antigen present on the pathogen and thus, form a part of the acquired immune response. So, the next time, when these pathogens attack the host, it remembers these surface proteins from the pathogens and can rapidly destroy the pathogen.

- One way of circumventing this type of acquired immune response by the pathogen is to alter the surface proteins, which allows the pathogen to acquire adequate time to re-infect the host cells.

Answer: Independent married couples

Explanation:

Independent married couples love each other and share most of their activities together however they still have their own life separately or independently that doesn't evolve around the other partner.

This is a health relationship because each person doesn't feel bound to the other they can still establish their own independence. Some couples may complain of having lost their independence due to marriage which may make them feel suffocated by the other person but for independent couples it is always interesting when they get to do something together because they still have their own independent lives.
