Answer:

The correct answer is letter A: sympathetic nervous system.

Explanation:

The autonomic nervous system is composed of the parasympathetic and the sympatetic systems. The parasympathetic is responsible for stimulates “rest-and-digest” activities, which occur during body rest, such as slowing heart rate and lowering blood pressure, adrenaline and blood sugar. The sympathetic responses for “fight-flight-or-freeze” situations. The sympathetic system acts directly (via impulses transmitted by the sympathetic nervous system) and indirectly (via catecholamines) on the cardiovascular system, leading to accelerate heartbeat. Thus, Harry’s physiological responses can be attributed to his sympathetic nervous system.

Answer:

The correct answer is b. recognizes foreign DNA sequences that have previously entered the cell and directs the Cas proteins to destroy them.

Explanation:

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPER) is the sequences of DNA found in the genome of prokaryotes and archaea. These sequences are added at a crisper locus in DNA by bacteria through capturing bacteriophage DNA during infection.

Then this sequence is used to detect a similar sequence of bacteriophage during subsequent infection and destroy them by Cas9 enzyme. Cas 9 enzyme uses a crisper sequence as a template to destroy similar phage DNA.  

So the CRISPER Cas system provides an adaptive defense mechanism to bacteria against foreign DNA coming from bacteriophage. Therefore the correct answer is b.
