Answer: The pathogen has lost the function of the ability to adhere to cells of the body.
Explanation:
Neisseria gonorrhea is a gram negative bacteria that has the ability to attack and cause disease in man using its virulent factors. It is know to attack the urethra of both male and female producing an acute urethritis and tenda to spread locally if not treated. The virulent factors determines the ability of the organism to infect or damage it's hosts tissues and they include:
--> endotoxins
--> pilli
--> fimbriae
--> capsule polysaccharide expression
The fimbriae is one of the virulent determinants which the organism uses to attach to the host cells. As these bacteria multiple and grow, there are chances of mutation occuring. MUTATION is defined as the errors during DNA replication or induced by exposure to mutagens (like chemicals and radiation)
If the bacteria is affected by mutation, which can cause the gene for fimbriae production not to be expressed, the virulent factor of the organism will be highly affected as the first step to cause an Infection which is attachment is lost.
The answer is B. A satellite is any object that revolves around another object, whether that be a natural satellite like an asteroid or a man-made object like a radio satellite.
Answer:
fixed action pattern, key stimulus; key stimulus, fixed action pattern
Explanation:
- An innate behavior which specific to a species and is highly stereotyped is termed as a fixed action pattern.
- This behavior occurs due to a neuronal network that is hard-wired in the species and the response is said to be generated following a key stimulus.
- A key stimulus is the one that generates a fixed action pattern and this is also called a releaser.
- A key stimulus can be in the form of shape, sound, color, or a combination of these.
- In this case, the red spot is a stimulus for the chicks which causes them to peck at their parent's bill, and hence, the red spot is a key stimulus, and pecking of the chicks is a fixed action pattern.
- The parents regurgitate the food only when the chicks peck at their bills, so pecking is a key stimulus for the parents which causes them to regurgitate the food which is a fixed action pattern.
