Answer: The correct answer is- D) Sweat.

Non specific defense is a type of immune response ( also called innate immune response) that does not target any specific disease causing organism ( pathogen such as any specific bacteria or virus).

It is mainly provided by the surface of body ( such as skin that acts as an important barrier against external agents).

Sweat is an example of non specific chemical defense as it makes the surface of skin ( epithelium) acidic, thereby inhibiting the growth of pathogens ( such as bacteria) on it.

Thus, option D) is the right answer.

klemol [59]

Answer:

By increasing blood glucose, fatty acid, and amino acid levels

Explanation:

Cortisol, corticosterone, and cortisone are the glucocorticoids released by the adrenal cortex and serve to impart resistance to stress. These hormones stimulate protein breakdown (mainly in muscle cells), gluconeogenesis and lipolysis and thereby increase the concentration of amino acids, glucose and fatty acids in blood.

The amino acids are used by cells for synthesis of new proteins or for synthesis of ATP. Glucose is also used by cells to produce ATPs.

Glucocorticorticoids increase the sensitivity of blood vessels for hormones which in turn stimulate their constriction. The vasoconstriction raises blood pressure. The process of vasoconstriction resumes the normal range of blood pressure which is otherwise dropped by some emergency conditions such as injury and severe loss of blood.

The molecular biology technique of reverse genetics can be useful for determining the function of a gene.

<h3>What is reverse genetics?</h3>

Reverse genetics is method use in molecular biology to determine gene function in an organism

The procedure in reverse genetics involves modifying or certain nucleotide sequences in the DNA coding for a functional gene and then observing changes to the phenotype of the organism brought about by the modifications.

Therefore, reverse genetics can be useful for determining the function of a gene.
