Answer:

The given blank can be filled with complement.

Explanation:

The complement system refers to an array of proteins found in the normal plasma, which allows antibodies to eradicate bacteria. It is known as a complement as it helps in the antibacterial activity of the antibodies. In the complement system, the proteins present react with each other to combine with the pathogens and initiate an inflammatory cascade reaction to fight the infection.  

The complement system acts against the pathogens in three ways. Initially, it stimulates a huge number of complement proteins, which combine with the pathogens so that they can get consumed by the phagocytes.  

After that, the components of the complement proteins can function as chemoattractants to accommodate phagocytes. And lastly, the components of the complement system at the termination of the chain destruct the bacteria by creating holes in their membrane.

wariber [46]

Answer:

The process of natural selection is acting on <u>Field mouse individuals</u> where as evolution is occurring on <u>Field Mouse population. </u>

Explanation:

As the problem shows, the field mice are the ones that natural selection is acting on, but only the ligher shade ones. Because the lighter shade individuals are more likely to survive in the beach because they blend with the environment.

Evolution occurred on the field mouse population because if you read the script in the end, they were able to successfully reproduce. This means that they evolved in such a way that they were able to survive in their new environment. (most likely carrying on the trait of light-colored fur)

Natural selection acts on traits, phenotypic traits, favorable to the environment. Evolution occurred because of the natural selection, because the favored trait enabled the organism to adapt to the environment.

B) Frost


Frost is a thin layer of ice on a solid surface, which forms from water vapor in an above freezing atmosphere coming in contact with a solid surface whose temperature is below freezing, and resulting in a phase change from water vapor to ice as the water vapor reaches the freezing point.
