Answer:

The correct answer is option b, that is, injection of antibodies to the toxin.

Explanation:

In countries like the United States, the cases of snake bites are very common. The effect of the bite of the snake depends on the fact that whether it is venomous or harmless. Even a bit of a harmless snake can result in allergic reactions. On the other hand, the bite of venomous snakes is considered deadly and needs to be treated as a medical emergency.  

A bite from a poisonous snake can lead to different kinds of symptoms like convulsions, localized pain, and inflammation, paralysis, and nausea. In case, if the severity of the bite is more, that is, if the condition is life-threatening, a doctor may use antivenom. Antivenom is a form of antibodies produced to tackle the symptoms of poisonous snake bites. The administration of antivenom is required to be done as quickly as possible to get the desired result.

Answer: Option B.

Injection of antibodies to the toxin.

Explanation:

Antibodies are protein secreted or produced which bind to foreign substances or pathogens in the human body their by helping the organism to defend against it or boosting the person immune system.

When a person is bitten by snake, the venom enter the blood stream and when antibodies injection is injected into the blood stream, it bind to the toxin or venom thereby providing quick immune response and fight against the toxin.

zysi [14]

Answer:

Explanation:A-

For Glomerular filtration rate, Increased blood volume and increased blood pressure will increase .

Constriction in the afferent arterioles going into the glomerulus and dilation of the efferent arterioles coming out of the glomerulus will decrease.

B- decreases both blood flow and filtration pressure where as constricting the efferent arteriole decreases blood flow but increases filtration pressure

The fact that both can be altered allows independent regulation of both GFR and blood flow.

Insect wings may have begun to evolve as lateral extensions of the body that were used as heat dissipaters for thermoregulation.
jeyben [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b, that is, an exaptation.

Explanation:

The co-option or the associated term exaptation illustrates a shift in the activity of a trait at the time of evolution. For example, a trait can evolve as it performed one specific activity, however, afterwards, it may start to perform another function. It is common in both behavior and anatomy.  

A classic illustration of exaptation is feathers of birds, at the start they were evolved for monitoring temperature, however, afterwards they were amended for flight. Thus, if the given hypothesis is accurate than the modern wings of insects are an example of exaptation.  

Adaptive radiation refers to the diversification of an array of organisms to hold a distinct ecological niche. The origination of mutation takes place because of the errors in the replication of DNA. The hox genes in the insects assist them to specify that what appendages will get produced in a segment.

When a broth culture of bacillus begins to run out of nutrients, the cells?
Ahat [919]

Enter stationary phase of the bacterial growth curve. The rate of death of the bacteria is equaled by the rate of replication. This is due to the stiff competition of the individuals for the scarce nutrients. The bacteria begin to produce inhibitory molecules that also increase the rate of mutations among the bacteria due to the harsh environment.
