Answer:

Option (B) is the correct answer of the following question.

Explanation:

Collagens are a family of enzymes that perpetuate and protect many of the body's tissues, with the exception of connective tissue, femur, fibula, pigmentation, and the caucasian eye (optic disc). It would be the best choice on which to base the phylogeny.

  • The first and most concentrated substance in the body is the collagen genes.
  • It is a large, indigestible cellular muscle which maintains organisms and gives internal cells a texture.
  • Collagen is also an essential part of the crisscrossing membrane neurons.

Other options are incorrect because they are not related to the given scenario.

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Opportunistic, endogenous pathogen

Explanation:

Opportunistic infection is an infection that is caused by the microbes that are otherwise the component of one's own normal microbiota.  Under particular conditions, the microbes become pathogenic and cause infection. The pathogen-derived from one's own microbiota is called endogenous pathogen.

According to the given information, <em>Candida albicans </em>is a part of the microflora of mouth but becomes pathogenic under certain conditions. In healthy individuals, they do not produce disease as their overgrowth is suppressed by other microbiota and other host resistance mechanisms. The infection occurs only in those individuals with predisposing factors such as weakened immune system or after consumption of antibacterial medications that disturb the normal microbiota and immune competency. This makes it an opportunistic, endogenous pathogen.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

A) classification of organisms

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

With the advancement of technology, many plants and animal were re-classified and reversed. For instance due to the advanced light microscope, which had high resolution and magnification, scientists were able to identify the structure of many organisms on a highly molecular level. Whitaker was a biologist who distinguished that fungi was separate from plants because fungi doesn’t have chlorophyll. Similarly there are so many evidences that resulted in the re-classification of organisms.
