Answer:

T and B cells.

Explanation:

Adaptive immunity is the kind of immunity that you acquire after exposure to an antigen (pathogen or vaccine), it involves memory in order to facilitate a quick response if there's a reinfection with the same pathogen. T cells are responsible for the cell-mediated response while the B cells are responsible for the humoral response. Both of these cells are specific to the pathogen's structure, therefore they can kill it directly.

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Please see below

Explanation:

Adapting to the surrounding environment is a critical part of surviving and, eventually, evolution. Take mice as an instance. Their coat color plays a major role in allowing to go undetected from potential predators if they are able to blend in well with the surrounding environment. Mice with a coat color that makes them stand out will be easily preyed on. Hence, those who have adapted to their environmental conditions will live to pass on their genes. This phenomenon is known as selection pressure.
