Answer:

The correct option is: b) may also be an opportunistic pathogen

Explanation:

Commensalism is a kind of symbiotic relationship between two different biological organisms. <u>In this interaction, one of the organism is benefited whereas the other organism is neither harmed nor benefited.</u>

The organism that gains benefits from the host is known as the commensal. The commensal may obtain benefits like shelter, nutrients, protection, and locomotion.

<u>However, the commensal bacteria can be an opportunistic pathogen.</u>

Opportunistic pathogens are the pathogens that can cause an infection or a disease if the host has a weak immune system.

Sergio [31]
In the coding region, natural selection tends to eliminate all of the mutations because of the high importance these regions have. The coding region contains genes that synthesize proteins and the changes in the DNA sequence can have devastating effects on the cell. Therefore, there are very few differences in the sequences of coding regions that can help us trace the lineage.
On the other hand, in the non-coding regions, the mutations often accumulate because they have little effect on the cell and the adaptive value of the organism. This enables us to trace up the lineage by comparing the sequences and seeing the differences in the sequences.
